VSSA
Highpower Team Continues Winning Ways
The
First Eastern Armed Forces Memorial Match was held Memorial Day
Weekend and was hosted by the Quantico Shooting Club. On
the trophies were the names of the service members and the winner
of each match. All match entry fees were donated to the Remembering the Brave Foundation, which was
founded by Stephen Beck. Steve was a Casualty Assistance Officer in
the Marine Corps and is a high power shooter. This match was his
idea as a way to remember our fallen heroes.
The 1000 yard team match was named in honor PO2 Marc A. Lee,
the first SEAL to be killed in Iraq in 2006. He was awarded the
Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart posthumously. The winning
team was the Virginia Shooting Sports Association. Congratulations
to our High Power Team and we will be rooting for you as you
compete at Camp Perry this month.
All of trophies won by the VSSA Team at the Eastern Armed
Forces Memorial Match will be on display at the VSSA Annual Meeting
on September 25th.
