WFW #1: Once a Sniper Always a Sniper


Proudly I get to announce our first package being delivered tomorrow to one very deserving operator.

Disclaimer before we begin: Here at WFW we strive to help fellow operators who have given something for their county and in doing so give support to the companies that allow us to do that by donating so generously. In an attempt to allow these operators to continue in their lives without being posted about online for the world to see, we will give brief descriptions of their situation without divulging their names,  or individual units other then service affiliation. Any picture of individuals will be blurred for their protection unless otherwise approved.

Now with that being said, our first package is for a member of Naval Special Warfare who lost his leg above the knee during combat operations overseas. For those joining in late I (Joe) was approached by his unit to assist them in purchasing a rifle for him. This interaction was the catalyst and beginning of what I hope will become a large ongoing project now known as Weapons for Warriors.

After a few phone calls to the companies listed below we had a truly amazing package starting to materialize. The pouring of support by these companies cannot be overstated and many thanks from all of us here at WFW to those who rogered up to help us.
