Galco Holsters for Heroes™

pages: 1 2 3 4
Galco would like to recognize American Legion/STAR Post #309 in Los Angeles, CA. The post held a fund-raising event that netted a $2923 donation to the Holster for Heroes™ program. This donation resulted in 36 shoulder holster systems being distributed to Soldiers deploying out of Fort Dix, NJ and Fort Riley, KS. Mr. Arthur Zuhlke and Ms. Ruth Nelson were instrumental in this excellent effort to get high-quality holsters to American troops. Galco would like to thank them, and Post #309, on behalf of the troops who received the donated holsters. Galco would also like to recognize American Legion Post 44 and VFW Post 3093, both of Worland, Wyoming. The two posts have so far donated a total of $2000 to the Holster for Heroes™ program. These donations resulted in 25 shoulder holster systems being distributed to Army National Guard Soldiers already deployed in Iraq. Mr. Don Hall’s assistance was invaluable in getting these holsters to the Soldiers already in the theater of battle. Galco thanks him, and all involved at Posts 44 and 3093, for their very generous donations and tireless efforts to support the troops!

The Holsters for Heroes™ program provides patriotic Americans a way to actively and effectively support individual members of the armed forces deploying to the Middle East. Many service members strongly prefer a quality leather shoulder system to the synthetic flap holsters issued by the military. We at Galco, along with some of our loyal customers, have taken note of the high demand for our shoulder holster systems among the courageous American military personnel who are fighting the ongoing War on Terrorism. The vast majority of Galco holsters sent to personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan have been purchased with the private funds of service members and their families. Galco elected to help support these fine men and women by instituting the Holsters for Heroes™ program. In order to best assist our nation’s military personnel, Galco offers two-for-one pricing on every Holsters for Heroes™ donation. Each time a customer donates a Vertical Shoulder Holster System, in tan for the M9 (Beretta 92FS), Galco will ship two holsters for the same cost as a single regularly priced holster. The donor’s name and contact information will be passed on to the recipients of both holsters, unless the donor elects to remain anonymous. Please note that donations to this program are not tax-deductible. Galco will send these holsters to Veteran’s Service Organizations (VSOs), who will distribute them to members of the armed services deploying to the Middle East. Unit commanders select recipients on the basis of rank, economic need, and military performance. Enlisted service members holding lower rank, and consequently of lesser pay grade, are given priority. Colonel Lonnie Barham (US Army), when told of the Holsters for Heroes™ program, commented, “We have hundreds of enlisted Soldiers here who will be carrying the M9 in theater – they are our SECFOR units who will perform combat MP tasks.” Galco, along with our contacts in the military and in the VSOs, will make every effort to ensure that donations go to those enlisted service members who most need and deserve a high quality holster to carry in the course of their deployment. Donors may remain anonymous at their request, but otherwise Galco will provide the holster recipient with the name and mailing address of the donor, since the recipient may wish to correspond with the donor. Donors are reminded that deploying personnel are often extremely busy training and preparing for their overseas duties. It may take 60-90 days from the date of purchase for the recipient to accept the donation and begin correspondence. Join forces today with Galco and the Holsters for Heroes™ program, to support the courageous men and women who are heading overseas to defend freedom. As one Army officer said, “It's a great idea. Not only will it save the taxpayer some money, it will ensure high quality holsters, will boost Soldier morale, and will get American citizens involved – something that always helps a country win wars.” Please click on one of the buttons below or call 1(800) USGALCO (874-2526) to donate to Holsters for Heroes™ today!
