"I've been blessed to shake hands and present rifles to the nation's finest, from Congressional Medal of Honor recipients to World War II heroes like Louis Zamperini. We will always continue to give back as much as possible to those who allow us to continue to do business in the land of the free. It's such a deeply ingrained part of our company DNA."

Over the years, Imperato has called countless veterans and war heroes to join him on stage to be presented with Henry's Military Service Tribute Edition rifle, the company's permanent salute to America's military men and women.
