In an effort to help support our troops and on behalf of the great people at AdoptASniper.Org, we will be raising money through the auctioning of challenge coins.

For those of you unaware of what his group does feel free to check their website out here. All funds raised go directly to getting equipment and needed items to our snipers overseas. These range from basic hygiene items to optics and accessories. The AdoptASniper group is made up of police and military snipers who have made it their mission to ensure their brothers' needs do not go unanswered.

Please help us raise a little extra money for them by making donations and buying support items from their site. In addition, we will be auctioning 3 challenge coins and commemorative 9/11 AR15.Com Knives. Please check the news forum for photos and to make a bid!

Thanks to the crew at AdoptASniper.Org for all their hard work and to our men and women who provide us with our freedoms!

OK guys in case you are confused, there are 3 AUCTIONS EACH WITH 1 KNIFE & 1 COIN, I'm referring to them as "groups" to keep it simple that you will be getting one of each item!

There are only 3 pairings at this time, although there may be more in the future.

We'll keep track of the top bids in the main subject as well as the previous bid in case something drastic happens. Please only bid if you are serious! If you want to help, but would like to do smaller, please visit the AdoptASniper.Org website and make a donation!

Thank you, sir.  I told my wife about this, and she said she is going to let me spend our anniversary money we got as a gift from her liberal parents to support the Adopt a Sniper cause.  She could think of no better way to spend that money from them.    She even pitched in $25 of her "walking around" money for the flagpole for Sgt. Stroh that zitiforbreakfast put together.  She's a damned fine woman.

You guys are amazing!

To make this a little more special, I will send an additional donation, matching the highest bid from any of the groups!

Remember, if you can only give a few dollars to go to their site and pickup a bracelet or challenge coin with smaller donations and tell them we sentcha!

We'll close out the Auction on Sunday night, so get your last minute bids in!

if I can get a written receipt from AAS, I can submit it to my employer and get it matched. They already match my payroll deductions to AAS 100%, and I've not hit the limit (12,000 US), so my contribution will be doubled to $800.

Thanks, Microsoft!

Hello ladies and gents ...

Thanks for all of the support here at 15.com.

FYI ... our site at www.AmericanSnipers.org is constantly under attack from God knows who ... trying to bring it down.

Which tells me we are pissing people off ... and therefore must be doing a good job.

But we often have to make site changes etc. to deal with it all.

Thanks for your patience and for putting up with any trouble you might have experienced with the site and or your orders for our products.

Hit us offline and we will sort out your problems asap.

Best regards,

BK
