In recognition of the milestone of recently reaching my 200th issue, I'm pleased to offer a special "Lifetime" subscription offer of $100 for 10 years of issues! That's right, this special offer is available now and will mean you won't have to pay $30 annually, but rather a one-time payment of $100 for up to 10 years of issues. This option is available when you click the Subscribe Now! button. The INAugurAL PATrIoT ShooTouT of ALAbAmA involved in. It was at the LSU University Club and raised money for the Folds of Honor. That was my first introduction to the Folds of Honor." (See adjacent Folds of Honor fact sheet for signifi- cant background on the organization). "I was intrigued and knew I wanted to learn more. I asked who the best fundraiser (within Folds of Honor). They all told me Alex McIntosh at Cham- pions Club in Houston. It was like it was meant to be as I arranged to meet Alex (who has raised over $600,000 for Folds of Honor) on a subsequent visit to see my Dad. "His son Scott died in Af- ghanistan and he was doing this to honor Scott." Ideas started to percolate in Redford's mind and he knew he wanted to get a Folds of Honor event off the ground in his home state. He's been working on it for pushing two years and the concept has evolved over time. "The central theme of the Folds of Honor is to support the families of those who have fallen serving their country. The inaugural Patriot Shoot- out of Alabama will do so and will include the Patriot's Din- ner the night before." The dinner will feature guest speakers Major Ed Pu- lido, Senior Vice President, the Folds of Honor, and U.S. Army (retired), who lost his right leg to an IAD, and is very well regarded within the Folds of Honor as a dynamic speaker and advocate, and Sarah White who is the daughter of Captain Dennis Michael White of the U.S. Air Force. On April 18, 1995, Captain Dennis White went out for a routine flight check off the coast of North Carolina. It was that day that God decided to call Captain White home. At the time, he left behind a loving wife, a six year old daughter, and a four year old son. Many years after the accident, Sarah enjoys speaking for the Folds of Honor Foundation and keep- ing the memory of her father and his sacrifice alive. She graduated from Auburn University
