Haven't posted in a long time, I think some of you know my indoor pool needs renovating! Actually my basement has been totally flooded & I'm in rebuild mode. Its going slow, I shoot faster than I nail!!
Wanted to let everyone know that the Wounded Warrior hunt is going to go on as scheduled & Daniel Harrison & his wife Julia will be here sometime around Oct. 10th for his mule deer hunt.
Because of the generosity of many of you & many on some other forums its going to be quite an event for one of our nations heroes. Not sure if I've mentioned it before but Daniel was blown up twice in Afganastan, some of them survived, some didn't. Both his ear drums were blown out & he had several other body injuries, yet he's still training Marine snipers!
With a great deal of help from everyone we purchased his out of state deer tag, he also will be receiving a Ruger Flattop 44 special, along with a Belt Moutain base pin with his initials on it...pretty cool! Fermin Garza has been the driving force behind the 44 Flattop.
Rob Leahy, head honcho at Simply Rugged Leather deserves a medal for all his work. Rob has many contacts with those in the gun industry & through his efforts Colt has donated (free) a new Colt Commander 45, I hope everyone can let Colt Firearms know of our appreciation. Its been truly amazing how many have wanted to be part of this, some have even donated that were out of work!
Rob has also donated 2 of his custom built holsters, one for the Commander & another for the Ruger Flattop. He also purchased (with your donated money) a case of 45 ammo & all this was presented to Daniel last week when he traveled to Prescott, Arizona to hook up with some Marine buddies. He had no idea he was being presented with a new Colt Commander (same exact type of sidearm he was carrying when he was blown up) I understand it was quite a touching ceromony!
There are still other surprises in store but they will have to wait until another day, everyone will get a final undate in a few weeks.
Once again, thanks to each & everyone of you for the donations, the cards, the encouragement & the genuine interest in what has become quite an event. Pardon me if I've repeated myself a few times from prior posts.
