Email from Curt, the match director of the wounded warrior match





Ladies & Gentlemen,

As you may know, we are doing a Wounded Warrior benefit match at USSA on October 23 thru 25.

It is going to be a modified Steel Challenge event. Not high pressure, stand and shoot. No expensive trophies, because I am
not spending the money on them. This is about evey dime going to the veterans.

This match is about getting money for disabled veterans. The $75 entry check is made right out to Wounded Warrior.

USSA is donating the range, the steel, and staff support.

At present I have 12 shooters.

12.

I know we are busy. I know a lot of folks are having money problems. I have a friend that works at DHS and they are
issuing record food stamps. I know there a lot of stories and problems out there.

All of these problems pale when you look at the issues some of our veterans are having.

I was priviledged to work a HAVA event in San Antonio last year. This is where severely wounded veterans are given a opportunity
to do what they used to enjoy. Shooting guns.

I had a guy with no left hand, and 2 fingers on his right want to shoot the S&W 500 magnum. The SO's were seriously worried about
the safety. I asked him if he was okay and sure. We loaded one round in the beast, and put it in his hand. I told him I would try to keep it from
hitting him in the head. I told the SO's if the damn gun went flying, I did not care.

This veteran shot it. He cowboyed up, held it stiff. Turned around and grinned at me, and asked for more ammo.

I need some folks to cowboy up.

If you are broke, send me the entry form. I will pay the entry for you, and write out a IOU for you.

I am damn serious about this. If you are going to do one thing all year - do this.

Our troops deserve it.

Hey guys! Busy busy day for me and Kevin! Took off work today to get everything washed packed and ready to leave for St Louis tomorrow morning. Kevin had rehearsal from 8-12 then we had lunch at Abuelos with the Clarinet section, then off to Walmart for sweatpants,sleep pants, and road trip munchies. Then to my hair stylist to have the Renegade Regiment Logo shaved into the back of his head! He hurt his knee at practice this morning, they have a halftime show at the game tonight then during second half they have to load the instruments. We have to report to the school at 5:30 AM to hit the road, prelims at 6:45pm, finals on Sat, awards around 10:30 or 11 pm then we leave for home as soon as it's over. Me and Kevin will be sleeping all day Sunday I'm sure.
