America Shoots For Her Troops Presents
Socks for Heroes LCPL Donald J Hogan Invitational
On Saturday, February 28th, America went to war with Iran. During this time, Socks for Heroes shipped over 44,000 pairs of socks to Soldiers, Airmen and Marines serving in the Middle East. These included two Marine Amphibious Ready Groups, Army Counter Missile Teams and Airmen stationed in Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates.
While we are at a cease-fire, we could use your help in re-building our opportunity to help. As a result, we’re happy to announce our next event, the second annual LCPL Donald J Hogan invitational on Sunday, July 26th from 7am-12pm at Camp Pendleton.
This shoot will be limited to 60 participants.
We’ll be sending rounds downrange to raise money for us to send socks overseas to help the men and women who serve our Nation as they stand the watch.
This will be somewhat more relaxed format than our standard event. We’ll be shooting rifles only, and at a distance, with targets from 25 yards to 500 yards.
Here are the firearms we’ll be shooting:
Sig Sauer MPX Carbine - 9MM
Kriss Vector Carbine - 9MM
Sig Sauer 516 Patrol Rifles (2) - .556 Caliber
HK MR 556 – the civilian version of the Marine Infantry Assault Rifle - .556 Caliber
