I know this should go in the trad events but I think It needs  to be here to get the most views. I would consider this the same as St judes.

I had the chance today to interact with some of the most elite and humble US service men that I have ever been in contact with.

On Aug 6 2011 a helicopter was shot down in eastern Afghanistan. on board were 30 american service men. Most belonging to seal team 6. ( the same guys that got  bin laden). A devastating lose to families and to our special ops force.

This shoot happened as a last wish from one of these guys.
all proceeds to go the wounded warrior and seal team foundation.  
Me and a couple of wheel buds headed down to see what was up. A better cause, I've never been involved with. I saw guys with missing legs, arms etc, Most shooting bows on the course. Lots of stuff going on for the kids. Lots of stuff to raffle off. ( A guitar donated by Uncle Ted Nugget was one). One   thing that really got ;me was at every target they had a sigh with a target sponser. It also had a Name of one of the seals killed in the hellicopter. example ( SOC Chris Cambell  never forget)  I'm sure they wanted more  but when I left , with an hour left for sign up, they had over 100 shooters pay  to shoot the course.

I was sitting around talking to my buds and looking at the crowd. I don't think it would have been a good place for a few hoodelums in hoodies to try and rob the cash box.

They are gonna try and make it an annual event. I'll be there every time.

Sounds like a great event and for a very worthy cause .

Don - where was the shoot held?

Hey Wally, shoot was between Jacksonville and Maysville NC. Only 20 minutes from my front door. Couldn't afford not to go. Seriously, it was a real life experience.

Well said, Don. Great write-up. So glad to hear it had success. Knew it would be a good one - for a great cause.

God bless all our dedicated troops.

That's great to hear of the success of a shoot like that!!! I'd like to have attended........

On the schedule for next year for sure!!!

It's a lot easier to part with the money when it's for a good cause. There is nothing that we can do that would repay these people in the military for their sacrifice.  

Thanks Don for sharing that with us. I wondered why you weren't at Sissapahaw.

Seems like it would be a help to all if somehow the two shoots would not be scheduled on the same date next year, if at all possible. Just a thought.
