Philanthropist Purchases 100 Front Sight Challenge Memberships for 100 Marines

Las Vegas Nevada -- "Dr. Ignatius Piazza, Founder and Director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute understands the importance of philanthropy. When he received a call from one of his members wanting to purchase a number of Front Sight Challenge Lifetime Memberships to be donated to deserving US Marines, Piazza did what any red-blooded, patriotic American would do to help reward our dedicated men and women of the US Marines-- he discounted the Challenge Lifetime Membership from its normal price of $5,900 to a single payment of $1,200 (a whopping 80% savings per membership) if the member would agree to provide a lifetime membership to each of 100 US Marines!

The member agreed and delivered the funds to secure 100 Front Sight Challenge Lifetime Memberships. These memberships are now ready and waiting to be assigned to active duty Marines destined for combat so they can receive additional training from Front Sight in Select-Fire M16, Practical Rifle, Tactical Shotgun, Defensive Handgun, and Submachine Gun.

When Dr. Piazza was asked why he would provide an 80% discount on a membership that Front Sight routinely sells for $5,900 if a philanthropic member would purchase 100 memberships for our US Marines, he responded, "A wise man once told me that when it comes to freedom, you either wear the uniform or you write a check! Since I am not wearing a uniform, I will cover the $470,000 difference on the hundred memberships to make sure that 100 US Marines get the additional training they want before laying their lives on the line for me, my family and all of America."

What makes this joint venture act of philanthropy so remarkable is that the other $1,200 for each of the 100 Challenge Lifetime Memberships is not coming from another patriotic American, but rather from a Canadian citizen!

When asked why he would provide $120,000 to secure Front Sight Challenge Lifetime Memberships for 100 US Marines, the Canadian citizen-- who requested to remain anonymous-- said, "Every time I take a course at Front Sight, I see US Marines on leave, spending their own money to get trained by Front Sight's staff. I watch how their skills improve over four days and they tell me what Front Sight Training does for their personal safety. I want to help them because the battle they are fighting is not just for the United States. They are fighting for all of us who want to remain free."

Active duty Marines can apply for consideration to receive one of the 100 Challenge Lifetime Memberships, by simply e-mailing Dr. Ignatius Piazza a resume of their military accomplishments along with documentation of their active duty status. A panel of Active and Retired Marines who work as Front Sight firearms instructors will review all resumes and award the 100 Challenge Memberships based on merit and duty assignments.

If you would like to follow a Canadian's lead and step up to provide Front Sight Lifetime memberships for another 100 US Marines or any other members of our active duty armed forces, contact Front Sight's Founder and Director, Dr. Ignatius Piazza today."

Laudable. But tainted. This is the same outfit that overlooked Markie Marks felony conviction and jumped through hoops to teach him a lesson or two when Hollywood came a' callin'. I do not have truck with felons or those that embrace them. YMMV.
