Founded in 2007, Reel Wives is the sister project of Reel Thanx, a fishing getaway for injured soldiers. More
than half of the injured soldiers participating in Reel Thanx are married, and the
organization recognized that those caretaker-spouses deserved recognition for their
service as well. Reel Wives grew out of that need.
MISSION STATEMENT
To: support the wives of our heroes who participate in our Reel Thanx program
To: thank them for their service with grace and honor
To: honor their strength and sacrifices while holding down the home front and raising
their children while their husbands serve our country
This is our way of ‘Helping Reel Wives When War Comes Home.’
For some, Reel Thanks and Reel Wives have helped open doors to new opportunities! With the help of others in our great community, we have been able to help a wife from our program relocate to Midland with a new job; a new start for her and her soldier!!
