Each year for the last decade Browning has recognized an outstanding Marine combat veteran with the award of a guided hunt and a new Browning firearm. This year the award goes to Major Peter Ankney. Major Ankeny is a decorated veteran with over a decade of deployments under his belt. Jon Leonard, representing the organization “Hunts for the Brave” came to Browning to award Major Ankney with a special, guided turkey hunt. In conjunction with this, Travis Hall, President and CEO of Browning presented Major Ankney with a special Browning Silver NWTF Turkey shotgun.
Leonard explained that many of the combat veterans that have been involved in the wide variety of programs offered by Hunts for the Brave have expressed that “there is a tremendous therapeutic effect that comes from hunting and being in the outdoors, and that they and their families greatly benefitted from the programs.” In his humble way, Major Ankney explained “I have been successful in the Marines simply because of serving with good Marines.”
On behalf of Browning, Hall remarked, “Day in and day out we do what we do and live as we do because people like Major Ankeny are protecting our freedoms.”
Browning is proud of its tradition supporting the men and women of the United States armed forces. For well over a century Browning has proudly supported America’s armed services with the best military firearms designs possible. John M. Browning’s legendary 1911 .45 ACP pistol, the Browning Automatic Rifle and the .30 and .50 caliber Browning machine guns have all won the lasting respect of generations of US combat veteran
