Vets shoot for FREE!

[ATM]

For Immediate Release:

The Appleseed Project, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to teaching every American our shared heritage and history as well as traditional rifle marksmanship skills, is happy to announce that Veterans will receive free admission from November 11 until December 31, 2010. To sign up, the veteran should go to www.appleseedusa.org and find an event, then use the "Sat & Sun. FREE for All Women, All Youth Under 21yrs, All Active Military, Guard or Reserve" option in eventbrite and then bring their veteran paperwork with them to the event.

Appleseed events are week-end clinics held by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association (RWVA). The RWVA is committed to renewing civic virtue - prioritizing civic responsibility over personal interests and indulgence. We are wholly comprised of volunteers who commit time, resources and passion toward achieving the RWVA mission. As a 501(c)3 organization, we promote civic responsibility through the teaching of colonial history and the American tradition of rifle marksmanship in a safe, non-partisan environment. For more information, go to www.appleseedusa.org

Thank you, Veterans! Looking forward to seeing you all on the line!

Good deal! I hope it gets more people out and shooting!

Why is it women are free all year round.. but honorably discharged Veterans and disabled Veterans aren't?

That makes no sense at all!

That makes no sense at all!

RWVA just keeps adding groups of people who are invited to shoot for free.

Perhaps this is just a trial period to examine whether the current volunteer staff can keep up with the increase in free shooters from this particular group.

If we can handle the load it might extend on forever, if not we might need more volunteers to make it permanent.

Sorry if that still doesn't make sense but it's still a good thing, right?

Most definitely ATM... this is a VERY GOOD offer.. just wish it was always like this!

Does this mean that I get to shoot for free now?

Yes, and my wife shoots for "double free"

Let's see Riley get some signups. What about Rochester? NW Indiana wanted shoots, we got em, lets see some signups there. It is a great range with a fully supportive staff.

Get signed up now, vets... this is even better than a free sammich!


...and no waiting in line!








Of course, you know how much I appreciate a nice sammich...

 

[Stschil]

I assume (no, don't go there) that a DD Fm 214 is the required paperwork, correct?

 

[SSGSAD]

Paperwork ????? How about Retired Mil., ID ?????

 

[ATM]

Nearly anything verifying service should work fine (retired ID, documentation of promotion, discharge, military decoration, etc.)

Copy of DD214 is best.

Just curious if anyone involved with Appleseed (ATM) have the stats, or if they even exist, on how many military veterans attend the matches each year. Just curious
