Faith and fitness partnership steps up the war on terror--supplying Shields of Strength and Versa Gripps to 82nd Airborne
BEAUMONT, Texas, July 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Point 27, Shields of Strength and Versa Gripps are partnering to strengthen--spiritually and physically--the 1,500 paratroopers from the U.S. Army's 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, that deployed to Afghanistan in June.
Through a donation to Point 27 https://point27.org/, Versa Gripps http://www.versagripps.com/ will send a Shields of Strength http://www.shieldsofstrength.com weight plate necklace to every customer who orders Camo Versa Gripps Pro Series directly from the VG website. Along with each purchase of Camo Versa Gripps Pro Series, Versa Gripps will send a signature Shields of Strength Dog Tag necklace to a 1BCT paratrooper. This "Get one-Give one" promotion is for the month of July. Versa Gripps will also donate pairs of their Pro Series Versa Gripps for the 1BCT.
Versa Gripps inventor and co-founder, Michael Parker, describes the company's July "Train Better-Be Better" Charity promotion: "Our company has been blessed in so many ways; and, in partnership with Point 27 and Shields of Strength, we are excited to share God's word on Shields of Strength, and to show our appreciation for Soldiers who serve to keep America strong and free."
U.S. (Ret.) Col. David Dodd who serves as director of the national nonprofit Point 27, and served in the 82nd Airborne Division, said: "I believe the most effective weapon in the war on terrorism is the love of Jesus Christ. Equipping America's soldiers with the Word of God and the love of Jesus is a combat multiplier. These brave men and women defend the freedom that every American enjoys. I know, firsthand, that when a soldier receives a Shield of Strength Dog Tag engraved with God's Word, that dog tag serves as a physical reminder that God is with them wherever they go and America supports them."
Dodd said he hopes that other corporations and businesses will partner with Point 27 to support America's military.
Kenny Vaughan, founder of Shields of Strength, sent Dodd and the troops under his command Shields of Strength, as they deployed to Afghanistan following 9/11; and has been helping supply U.S. service men and women with Shields of Strength for more than two decades. Dodd founded the nonprofit Point 27, after retiring from the military, to help provide Shields of Strength to the military, veterans and first responders.
