"The American Heroes Challenge is a means to honor those that go beyond the
call on a daily basis and I am proud to have the opportunity to give back to a
community that puts the needs of others before themselves. The Las Vegas
Veterans Memorial is the first of many projects this charity will support in
future years," said Michael Millett, president of American Shooters and
director of American Heroes Challenge.

Twenty teams of four, consisting of military, law enforcement, and security
professionals, will use innovative problem-solving methods, teamwork, and
their special skill sets to complete tasks in scenarios designed to push the
limits of their abilities and determine which team is the best of the best.
Teams will be competing for more than $100,000 in awards and prizes.

The American Heroes Challenge will take place in Las Vegas on Saturday,
November 7 and Sunday, November 8 to kick-off Veterans' Week and the
competition is open to the public. Each of the six stages of the event is
named in honor of a fallen individual who made the ultimate sacrifice in
service to our country.

Participants will compete in events encompassing low-light operations, manual
breeching, building searches, injured operator rescue and rapid deployment
skills.

The American Heroes Challenge is a charitable organization created to pay
tribute to members of the military, law enforcement and first responder
communities. The goal is to provide a long-term ongoing charitable vehicle
dedicated to funding projects that benefit and honor those who give so
selflessly to making our country and communities a safer place. The Veterans
Memorial is the American Heroes Challenge debut project.
