ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 2016 AND THEREAFTER - In this May 24, 2016 photo, Army Veterans Dan Kennedy, left, and Nick Harding stand next to their kayaks in Decatur, Ill. The pair are veteran anglers who have become fishers of men. Harding and Kennedy belong to an organization with the jolting title "#22KILL." #22KILL draws attention to the nations veteran suicide rate and some of the underlying miseries that drive the veteran suicides, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, the malady as old as war itself that targets soldiers whose eyes have seen too much. Several organizations are using fishing to bring some cheer to veterans' lives. (Jim Bowling/Herald & Review via AP) MANDATORY CREDIT
