Get Lee To Maine – AT Thru Hike – GoFundMe

Monday, June 29th, 2015

Lee Deckelman is a former Special Operations Combat Vet/ Security Contractor, and founder of Echelon Grey Foundation, a Non-Profit 501 (c) (3) (pending) Charity. The goal of Echelon Grey is to support Veterans and contractors through suicide intervention/prevention and supporting mental health services at home.

While awaiting federal approval for the foundation, Lee has embarked on an Appalachian Trail Thru Hike Mission, with the goal:

“to promote and bring awareness to the public via a mini-documentary/hike along the AT. I feel the environment/ setting is the perfect backdrop for a Global War on Terror Documentary. Over the 4-5 months it will take me to complete the entire hike, I hope to interview 20-30 individuals who volunteer to meet me along the trail, and who represent all the traditional and non-traditional roles Americans serve in overseas”.

Lee is 1/3 of the way to Maine, currently in Northern Virginia, and requires a supplement to his budget to complete the journey.

3rd Annual Duskin And Stephens Beef And Beer Benefit

Tuesday, May 19th, 2015

The 3rd Annual Duskin and Stephens Beef and Beer Benefit is this THURSDAY, May 21st at the Pinehurst Fair Barn. If you are in the Fort Bragg area, there is no better way to kick off your Memorial Day weekend than with this event honoring two fallen Green Berets, CW2 Mike and Duskin and SFC Riley Stephens. This is an excellent event run by two active duty Special Forces NCOs. The past events have helped support Army SOF soldiers and their families. This is a family friendly event which, in addition to raising money, also helps connect SOF service members with the local community.

For more information visit:

duskinandstephens.com

Earlier in the year former teammates and friends of Mike Duskin also hosted a 3 Gun Competition. The match honored four former Special Forces Soldiers who were also competitive shooters and raised money for the Task Force Dagger Foundation. The first place shooter won a Salient Arms Tier 1 Glock 17 which he in turn donated to this year’s Duskin and Stephens Beef and Beer Benefit Silent Auction. Next year the planners of the 3 Gun intend to move the match to May in order to be held closer to the Beef and Beer Benefit.
