Tonight on Montana Evening Edition; Thursday, February 21st
Imagine yourself recovering from grievous physical and psychological combat-related wounds. Your days are filled with pain, surgeries and a lack of simple motor skills. Maybe you left a limb - or two - overseas. Your nights are sometimes sleepless affairs as your brain contends with memories, sounds and images that most civilians can't even imagine. What do you do for relief? Retired Marine Colonel, Eric Hastings, found solace in fly fishing when he returned from his stint as a combat pilot in Vietnam. Hastings now reaches out to a new generation of combat vets returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan with a week of fly-fishing in southwestern Montana.

In tonight's feature interview, Edward O'Brien talks with Shasta Grenier, one of the directors of "Not Yet Begun to Fight".
