FNH USA is 5 Star Donor for
Subscriptions for Soldiers (SOS) Program
FNH USA Enlists with PRIMEDIA Outdoor Group’s
“Subscriptions for Soldiers” Program
McLean, VA - FNH USA, the U.S. sales arm of legendary firearms maker Fabrique Nationale in Herstal, Belgium, recently joined forces with the PRIMEDIA Outdoor Group to lend their support to the new Subscriptions for Soldiers program, and has quickly become a leading contributor to the project.
“For more than a century FN has produced the firearms and other weapons systems that help protect the armed forces of the United States and those of many other nations. Today hundreds of thousands of brave American servicemen and women are deployed around the world in the War on Terror and other security, peacekeeping, training and humanitarian missions,” said FNH USA Marketing Manager Sarah Perry. “Their hard work, dedication and sacrifice help to ensure the world is a better, more peaceful and more secure place for all mankind.”
“As our soldiers serve this nation in far-flung locales, their most frequently requested comfort items are magazines and publications to help bring them a little taste of home,” continued Perry. “By becoming part of the Subscriptions for Soldiers program, FNH USA hopes to do something tangible for our American servicemen and women, making their overseas deployments a little easier and keeping them connected with the world back home. It’s the kind of meaningful program that makes a real difference in their daily lives, and it’s something every American company can and should support.”
As the only Subscriptions for Soldiers Five-Star Donor to date, FNH USA has already purchased 1,300 subscriptions to Guns & Ammo magazine. 500 of the subscriptions begin with the October issue, followed by another 800 in November. Plans are underway for FNH USA to increase the number of Subscriptions for Soldiers they fund to between 2,000 and 3,000 during 2007.
Launched in June of 2005, the Subscriptions for Soldiers program creates the means for individuals and corporations to get popular magazines into the hands of active duty U.S. military personnel. The PRIMEDIA Outdoor Group is one of the largest outdoor interest media companies in America, with 17 major magazines, 17 websites and 9 national outdoor television programs. The greatly discounted price of $10.00 for each SOS subscription helps PRIMEDIA cover the costs of printing and mailing.
Military.com, the largest online military destination website has actively supported the Subscriptions for Soldiers program with descriptions and links for their millions of users. The site has revolutionized the way the military community stays informed and connected with the latest in news, benefits information, services and entertainment for today’s armed services members.
In addition, two dollars from every Subscriptions for Soldiers subscription helps fund the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), created to assist the families of armed service members who have died in the service of America. By stepping forward at these difficult moments, the TAPS network of volunteers helps to ease their pain, shoulder their burden and help their families deal with their grief, heal emotionally and move forward with their lives.
