Don’t Just Remember the Fallen – Make A Difference CPT (r) Tyler Merritt September 9, 2016 Veteran Inspired One of the best parts about being a veteran is the sense of community that comes with it, no matter where you are or who you’re with. We come together for companionship in our common experience, we come together to continue our public service by helping others in need and we come together to remember those we’ve lost and the heroic actions that should never be forgotten. Now, we have the opportunity to come together in this spirit and keep our sacred promise. The Attacks On September 11th, 2012, there were two coordinated, complex attacks, launched by radical Islamic terrorists in the city of Benghazi, Libya. In the first attack, the State Department Consulate building was targeted along with a close CIA outpost several hours later. CIA and State Department security professionals put up a heroic defense. It unfortunately ended with the deaths of four steadfast patriots — US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty. Our community comes together to support one another when in need. As such, Nine Line Apparel is teaming up with Kris “Tanto” Paronto — one of the operators who valiantly repelled the attacks and helped to save countless lives — to help raise both awareness and money for the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation which offers scholarships and unique opportunities to members and their families of the special operations community. This great cause does so much to ensure that those who put their lives at incredible risk are taken care of. As anyone who’s served in harm’s way can attest, knowing that loved ones are taken care of helps to get the job done. What You Can Do Those proud warriors have our backs at all times, maintaining their watch in regions and situations that often must go unreported in the news. This is a great way to ensure that we get their six as well. To date, Nine Line Apparel has raised over $7,000 to help out the Foundation — an achievement that we couldn’t be more proud of. But now, it’s time to take that to a whole new level. In a world that is badly in need of real heroes for people to look up to, help us show the world a few heroes worth remembering with our t-shirt that commemorates the sacrifices of those four patriotic Americans who lost their lives in Benghazi. Make sure and check back in with us as our partnership with Paronto develops. We’ll be updating you with all of the best and most exclusive offers.
