As a USMC veteran that views shooting as therapeutic, I appreciate what you're doing getting both Gold Star families together with other active duty or veteran shooters that can empathize with them at some level. 

These families are the countries greatest example of sacrifice. They deserve every ounce we can give them. 

After attending last years match (minus the ankle... lol) Jeremy Cantwell and I decided that this was going to be the driver behind our shooting- getting more people on board with these families.
