After WFW #1, the feedback we received was amazing. Looking to line up our 2015 packages two Green Berets were nominated by a friend. Reaching out to their wives, we were made aware of some wishes they had as far as weaponry and we were off and running.
Our First package goes to Jared Bullock, described on his athlete Facebook page:
"I am a retired SOF guy and an amputee since 11-13-13. Since that time, I have become an OCR racer and want to inspire other to do great things in life."
Jared's drive to never quit and help others in his situation played a enormous part in our deciding to award him. A double amputation and still the never quit attitude to persevere, succeed and excel in life, bringing a great credit upon himself and the brotherhood of Green Berets he belongs to.
Jared's wife said he had been talking about an AR10 for hunting, so off the WFW cadre went looking to lineup the best possible package we could.

After almost a year, the package was done and ready to be awarded. Now how to get Jared to our award site (CORE Shooting, in Baker FL) without his knowing. With his wife in on the plot, she talked Jared into a Groupon range day and the scene was set.
The WFW staff had little time to get the package arranged before they arrived to burn some powder. We talked for a brief moment before showing Jared the rifle he would be shooting today, very excited to get his hands on a nice rifle we let him know he would also be leaving with it. The genuine amazement and surprise on his face made all our hard work worth it. The ability to gift something like this to a brother in arms who has literally given limbs in service for our amazing country is a life changing experience.
We helped Jared get it zeroed and on steel out to 950 yards. An enormous grin across his face the entire time.
We hope it brings Jared as much pleasure of ownership as it brought us awarding him this amazing package from some awesome industry leaders. We please ask that you remember and support the amazing companies that support us here at WFW. Without them we would not be able to do this for these amazing soldiers who gave so much for us.
