UTAH, Draper (FirearmsGuide.com) - In honor of Memorial Day, SportEAR is partnering with Wounded Veterans Waterfowl Club (WVWC) to give combat veterans a free day in the field for relaxation and recuperation. Axil, the parent company of SportEAR, will donate hearing protection and a portion of its sales generated during the week of Memorial Day through June 3 to the non-profit.

"Many of our customers are military veterans," said Axil CEO Weston Harris. "They are an at-risk group for hearing damage. Through our partnership with Wounded Veterans Waterfowl Club, we hope to help veterans repair more than just their hearing. We will be a part of an overall system that supports active and returning veterans in need."
 
The Wounded Veterans Waterfowl Club is a non-profit organization made for veterans, by veterans, with the mission to give military and military-affiliated individuals a complete hunting experience free of charge.
 
"I was out on a hunt with a friend of mine, who is also a veteran," said Corey Doughetry, WVWC founder. "While we were waiting there he turned to me and gave me this deep, heartfelt 'thank you.' I found out later that he nearly committed suicide the night before, but being outdoors in the beauty of nature gave him a new appreciation for life."
 
That hunt was the motivation Doughetry needed to organize the Wounded Veterans Waterfowl Club. Starting with funds from his own pocket, Doughetry began organizing hunts to get veterans into the wild. Since then, the WVWC has opened chapters in Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, North Carolina, Washington and Wisconsin.
 
SportEAR is proud to support the WVWC by providing X-Pro Earplugs and M-4 Series Electronic Ear Muffs in addition to donating a portion of its proceeds to the organization. These products are designed to provide the utmost in protection from loud sounds such as gunshots. To join SportEAR in making a difference for veterans, visit offers.axilpro.com/memorial-day.
