5.11 Tactical

Never forgotten. On this day, 23 years ago, our world changed forever. September 11th, 2001 remains etched in our memory as a day of unimaginable loss, but also as a day we witnessed extraordinary courage, resilience, and unity. Today, we honor the 2,977 American lives lost, the first responders who bravely ran toward danger, and all those who have carried the weight of that day ever since. We remember not only the tragedy but also the incredible stories of hope and humanity that emerged in its aftermath. As we reflect on this day, let's also recommit to the values that were so powerfully displayed following 9/11: compassion, solidarity, and the belief that even in the darkest times, we are stronger together.

This past month, our employees participated in a global wellness challenge in partnership with Stop Soldier Suicide. During this challenge, we focused on our physical and mental wellbeing all while stepping for a greater cause. Employees worked together to accomplish a collective step goal aiming for 15 million steps, with each step bringing us closer to a $10,000 donation for Stop Solider Suicide. We're proud to announce our team far surpassed our initial goal completing over 25 million steps. Our donation will go towards mental health and wellness care to veterans and service members in an effort to decrease the rate of soldier related suicides.
