From Beretta
Beretta USA is honored to announce the launch of a limited-edition Beretta M9 T-shirt in honor of Veteran’s Day. Created in collaboration with Folds of Honor, this commemorative T-shirt pays homage to our country’s service members, their families, and the sacrifices that they made for our freedom. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the commemorative T-shirt will benefit Folds of Honor.
Since 2007, Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization, has provided educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members to honor their sacrifice by educating their legacy. To date, Folds of Honor has awarded more than 28,000 educational scholarships throughout the United States as well as Guam, Puerto Rico, Australia, Italy, and the Philippines.
“For decades, service members proudly have been carrying the M9 as their sidearm, and we at Beretta USA are proud to serve them,” Francesco Valente, COO and General Manager of Beretta USA, said. “We are honored to partner with Folds of Honor to serve these men and women once more. The children of fallen and disabled service members have enough struggles; they should never have to worry about how they will pay for their education. Beretta USA will do its part to make sure they do not have to.”
For more than 30 years, the Beretta M9 served as the official sidearm of the U.S. Armed Forces in its various conflicts and operations around the globe, from Operation Desert Storm in 1990, missions in Africa and eastern Europe in the late 1990s, and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars of the 2000s. The M9 and other variations of the 92 series line continue to be carried by military and law enforcement agencies worldwide.
