14th Annual south haven salute to veterans

---

This annual tradition started over forty years ago when the South Haven Steelheaders, led by a local disabled Vietnam veteran took a group of disabled veterans on a Lake Michigan fishing trip.   Over three decades later, Operation Injured Soldiers, South Haven Steelheaders and many boat captains and volunteers have grown to what it is today.

This year's event will take place August 15 

Without the generous support of local businesses, this event would not be possible!  To make a donation, please click HERE.  All sponsorships must be received by July 20, 2026

We also need boat captains willing to take veterans out fishing and participate in the boat parade on August 15.  If you would like to sign up to help, make this event possible, please email Jeff Dehn at jrdehn@gmail.com
