Galco’s high successful Holsters for Heroes™ program ran from 2005
through 2012. The program provided patriotic Americans a way to actively and
effectively support individual members of the armed forces deploying (or
already deployed) 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, took 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.
Galco sent these holsters to Veteran’s Service Organizations (VSOs), who
distributed them to members of the armed services deploying to the Middle
East. Unit commanders generally selected recipients on the basis of rank,
economic need, and military performance. Enlisted service members holding
lower rank, and consequently of lesser pay grade, were given priority.
Galco, along with our contacts in the military and in the VSOs, made every
effort to ensure that donations go to those enlisted service members who
most needed and deserved a high quality holster to carry in the course of
their deployment. |
A total of over $100,000 in donated holsters were shipped to
deployed/deploying armed forces members between 2005 and 2012. Galco and our
partners in the VSOs coordinated donations of holsters to units of: · US Marines in Iraq · US Air Force in Afghanistan · US Army in Iraq · Alaska Army National Guard in Iraq · Arizona National Guard deploying to Afghanistan · Arkansas Army National Guard deploying to Iraq · Puerto Rico Army National Guard deploying to Iraq · South Dakota Army National Guard deploying to Iraq · Indiana Army National Guard deploying to Iraq · Massachusetts Army National Guard deploying to Iraq · Florida Army National Guard deploying to Iraq · Arizona Army National Guard deploying to Iraq · Illinois Army National Guard deploying to Iraq · Wyoming Army National Guard in Iraq
