Daniel Defense and Military Warrior Support Foundation Give Away Home At Patriot Weekend

Monday, September 9th, 2013

Pooler, GA – September 9, 2013 – Daniel Defense recognizes the personal sacrifice the men and women of the United States Armed Forces make every day. Their dedication and care for the safety of their fellow Americans does not go unnoticed. Friday night, with gratitude, Daniel Defense presented a combat veteran and his wife with the gift of a mortgage-free home. “These men and women have heroically given up their bodies in defense of our freedoms,” says Marty Daniel, President and CEO of Daniel Defense. “While we can’t give them their health back, we can acknowledge their sacrifice, thank them and their family for their service, and provide spiritual support.”

Through the Military Warrior Support Foundation, Daniel Defense learned of a soldier, injured during his time of service. Specialist Justin Foley sustained injuries when the armored vehicle he was in struck an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Due to the injuries sustained, Foley now awaits medical retirement from the U.S. Army. “What we want to provide is hope for these warriors and their families,” explains Josh Kinser of Military Warrior Support Foundation. “By partnering with great, patriotic companies like Daniel Defense, we are able to put these heroes in a mortgage-free home and help them transition to a successful civilian life.”

Friday night, during a military tribute at the Inaugural Patriot Weekend in Pooler, Georgia, a check for $22,500 was presented to the Warrior Transition Battalion on Ft. Stewart. Shortly after, Specialist Foley, assigned to WTB Bravo Co., was presented a ceremonial key to the home he and his wife will receive, mortgage free.

“I will not charge for shipping or handling….”

Until the point where we can implement that plan, I will not charge for shipping or handling on any product offered for sale on our website(s). I appreciate your understanding and patience while we correct our shortcoming.

In Class With Orion Applications Training Division

Monday, July 22nd, 2013

Daniel Defense recently sponsored a three-day event for the firearms press that included a course by Orion Applications Training Division. You may recognize the name ODG from their camouflage patterns we’ve covered here on SSD in the past. Turns out, they apply their knowledge in other ways as well. I was the only web-based writer invited to this event so it was a great opportunity for me to meet some of the guys in the gun press, familiarize myself with different Daniel Defense firearms and get a first hand look at training from ODG.

Day 1
Day 1 was administrative in nature and consisted of travel, a tour of the Daniel Defense factory and an icebreaker dinner with the other participants. We hit the hay having no idea what an exciting two days we had ahead of us.

Training Day 1

Daniel Defense and Military Warrior Support Foundation Give Away Home at NRA 2013

Sunday, May 5th, 2013

With the 142nd NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits underway, Daniel Defense recognizes the sacrifices made by the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Their continued efforts protect the way of life enjoyed by Americans throughout the generations. This year, Daniel Defense was honored to present a combat veteran and his family with the gift of a mortgage-free home. “I am amazed by the bravery these soldiers demonstrate in the field,” says Marty Daniel, President and CEO of Daniel Defense. “We can’t thank them enough for their sacrifice.”

Through the Military Warriors Support Foundation, Daniel Defense learned of a Soldier, awarded three Purple Hearts during his time of service. SFC Jonathan David Langford sustained multiple injuries during two deployments, including a blast concussion, broken ribs, shrapnel and traumatic brain injury. “What we want to provide is hope for these warriors and their families,” explains Josh Kinser of Military Warrior Support Foundation. “By partnering with great, patriotic companies like Daniel Defense, we are able to put these heroes in a mortgage-free home and help them transition to a successful civilian life.”

The donation was a complete surprise to the Langfords. Daniel Defense gave away a rifle on Saturday afternoon. A crowd gathered around the Booth (#2111) where SFC Jonathan Langford and family were invited to draw the winning name. Immediately following the announcement, attendees were asked to remain for a special announcement. It was there, Mr. Langford and his wife were told they were the recipients of a home located in the Florida town where they would settle after leaving the service.

The surprises did not end there. Working in conjunction with Texas Trophy Hunters Association and Trophy Hunters TV, the Langford’s were also elated to learn of an opportunity to hunt during the filming of a TV show.

This photo looks like two guys catching up at this weekend’s NRA Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas. But these guys are far from random.

In this Daniel Defense photo we see founder Marty Daniel along with former SEAL Mike Noell, who founded the tactical brand Blackhawk after a stint in the Navy. Both men have been vital to our industry, building successful companies from scratch.
