Great Satan, Inc.

Time is almost up for you to win one, or more, (nearly) free guns at the 2013 Gun Blogger Rendezvous in Reno, NV this week.   Just register for Gun Blogger Rendezvous, take a trip to the Silver Legacy Hotel in Reno, and buy raffle tickets, comfortable in the knowledge that the proceeds will go to Soldiers Angels.

What can you win if you participate?

True Blue Sam put together this little video to show you.

What about the guns? 

Yes, you could win a stainless Ruger .357 Magnum Blackhawk donated by True Blue Sam.

You could win this pre-WWII Stevens “Little Scout 14-1/2” rifle, restored and donated by Engineering Johnson.

You could also win a Hipoint.  Last year, Hipoint donated a 9mm Carbine, and I believe they have generously donated another.

You could also win a lot of other great products, generously donated by Gun Blogger Rendezvous sponsors.

Last year, Mz. VRWC won an awesome stainless steel Ruger Single-Ten (donated by Ruger) along with a custom tooled holster made by Engineering Johnson.  We also brought home a wheelbarrow full of other great prizes, including a Crimson Trace LightGuard, a Leupold Mark AR scope, AR-15 magazines from Brownells, and many other great prizes from numerous event sponsors.

What are you waiting for?  Get signed up and attend the 2013 Gun Blogger Rendezvous!

Today, we posthumously thank those who have served and given the ultimate sacrifice for this country.  Tomorrow, many of us will go back to our daily grind and not give much thought to those that are either currently fighting, or those who have fought and died for our freedoms until Memorial Day comes around next year.

Uncle Ted has another idea.   Make every day Memorial Day

As parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, we owe it to America’s finest to educate the youth of the United States that many brave Americans have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom. Teach them that freedom isn’t free. Teach them that the American military has freed more people from the shackles of tyranny and slavery than any other force in the history of the world. Teach them to remember this not just on Memorial Day, but every day.

Organizations like Soldiers’ Angels make remembering our military and showing our thanks throughout the year easier than ever.  Soldiers’ Angels is a “volunteer-led 501(c)(3) non-profit with hundreds of thousands of volunteers providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, veterans and their families”.

They offer dozens of ways to get involved in making a difference in a soldier’s life – none involving a sacrifice as great as the one our military proudly and selflessly provides to us each day.

Happy Memorial Day 2010, Day 1.
