Competition pistol shooter Mike Gallion and his teammate James Austin show their support for Soldiers’ Angels Project Valour-IT every time they step onto the competition range. Sponsored by several gun-related companies, Gallion and James compete in Steel Challenge competitions around the world.
Gallion’s newly-redesigned competition jersey features the words “Soldiers’ Angels Project Valour-IT” on the left sleeve, under a bright American flag. “I probably could have sold that space to a new sponsor,” Gallion admits, “but I had something more important to go there.” All of the logos and writing on the jersey are dyed into the fabric rather than silk-screened, and it's made of a special rip-stop material—features which will ensure Gallion and Austin’s shirts look good for years as they continue to spread the word about Valour-IT.
In addition to designing the new jersey to support Valour-IT, Gallion has organized Gunblogger Rendezvous events, annual weekends of fellowship and shooting that have brought in many thousands of dollars for Valour-IT in the last four years. Gallion's biggest sponsor, GunUp, is also a sponsor of Gunblogger Rendezvous.
After placing high in the Man of Steel Championships in Oregon, Gallion and Austin are headed to a state competition in Washington. Weeks later, Gallion will be overseas as one of only two people representing America at the European Steel Challenge Championships… carrying the Valour-IT message with him!
Soldiers’ Angels salutes Mike and James for their continuing support of America’s wounded heroes. Good luck in all your competitions!

I do not carry guns or will ever carry one for the rest of m life.It takes a lot of discipline to wield such a weapon. But I admire your group. You carry guns but are very responsible about it and every opportunity that will allow you to earn money, you do it for a cause.
