Outdoor Channel Commemorates Veterans Day by Supporting Folds of Honor Foundation's Inaugural Patriot Range Day

WHO:

Outdoor Channel, America's Leader In Outdoor TV, and Folds of Honor Foundation, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational scholarships otherwise unavailable to the spouses and children of soldiers killed or disabled in service to our country.

WHAT:

Last week, the Folds of Honor Foundation unveiled plans for their first-ever "Patriot Range Day" – an initiative designed to allow shooters nationwide to combine their passion for the sport of shooting with their appreciation of American heroes. Over the course of Veterans Day weekend (November 8^th - 11^th), participating public and private shooting ranges nationwide will request a minimum of $1 as a donation from each shooter, proceeds of which will go directly to the Folds of Honor Foundation.

Outdoor Channel is honored to join Folds of Honor Foundation as a partner in the Patriot Range Day effort to celebrate the service of U.S. military veterans. Moreover, one of the network's marquee personalities and a leading talent in outdoor entertainment, Michael Waddell has taken part in a public service announcement (PSA) to spread the word on this noteworthy Veterans Day initiative.

For a peek at the PSA starring Waddell, the host of Outdoor Channel's "Bone Collector" and "Realtree Road Trips," along with Major Dan Rooney, the founder of the Folds of Honor Foundation and a former F-16 Fighter Pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, click on this link: http://video.brocodev.com/12BSH2872_waddell_v2r6_11-05-2012.mov.
