In honorĀ of ourĀ American military veterans and Independence Day, Wicked Tuna’s Captain Dave and Nancy Marciano are hostingĀ a group of veterans aboard the Yankee Freedom.Ā Captain Dave first began working with the Wounded Warrior Project about four years ago. He usually treatsĀ small groups throughout the season but his year has been incredibly busy for the Marciano’sĀ and heĀ needed a larger boat to bring out aĀ larger group of vets.
Capt. Orrell and Capt. Dave
Captain Dave naturally turned to Captain Tom Orrell, from where he beganĀ his fishing career. Capt. Orrell owns and operates Yankee Fleet Fishing. Orrell was all on board with the idea and has donated his largest ship, the Yankee Freedom. Jim Destino donated lunch and Mayor Romeo ThekenĀ and the City helped organize gift bags.
