Cat's outta the bag, CompVest!



I gotta post it in the General forum. This is too important.

Guess so, Skiprr. Thank you for the kind words everyone.

Congratulations Donna!!! You earned this with all you do. Many ladies would not be in this sport or be able to defend themselves without your hard work, training and encouragement!

I don't want it to seem as if I were trying to steal George's thunder--or move this discussion out of the Women's section--but becasue this is a national NRA award I wanted to give the news as much exposure as possible, so I also started a thread in the General Guns & Shooting fourum:

Just visit the homepage of the Texas State Rifle Association Political Action Committee and you'll see the regard in which the award is held: first thing you see is a picture of Alice Tripp receiving the 2005 award from Marion Hammer.

In fact, only three Texans have ever won the award: Alice Tripp in 2005, Kate Ferraro-Creigh in 2007, and now Donna Vandermolen in 2009. All well deserved!
