Ok, so here is the deal, we are a 501c3 Non-Profit, Public Charity, and a Working Poor Tax Credit in the State of Arizona. Every Sunday, since 2005, rain, shine or blizzard, never missing a Sunday, we have fed the less fortunate of Flagstaff at our outreach Berg’s Free BBQ. Well, about 4 years ago we noticed more and more veterans coming through our food lines. First a couple, then a few then 10, 20, 30 veterans and it just didn’t make sense to us. These men and women fought for our country. They allowed us to live in a free country, they wrote a blank check with their lives, and now they are having to stand in line for a meal (albeit a good meal) at our free food out-reach.
So, after getting together with a few veterans we knew, we came up with a plan. And that plan was UBSA (United Brothers and Sisters in Arms is the longer version and the name you can find us under on Facebook). So now we search the shelters, the streets and mountain campsites for homeless Veterans to help them get a hand-up, instead of a hand-out
You see, these Veterans come to us with almost nothing...sometimes just the clothes on their backs. We provide shelter, food, clothing and access to medical help, training, support and jobs in a warm, family atmosphere. Sometimes we just provide a ticket home, or pay to cover them in our Transitional Facility in Flagstaff, Arizona. Yes, we have one of those, too!
Basically, we help them find whatever they need to once again rejoin all of us, as healthy and vibrate members of American Society. They have served us and we now need to serve them!
But to do this it costs money!
So twice a year we run a Rifle Raffle, (Yeehaw!) to help us cover the expenses to serve these forgotten heroes. And since we have no paid staff, only a volunteer work force, funds that come in can go directly to help find, feed, house and help our homeless and distressed Veterans.
So please buy a ticket or two…or more! Deep discounts when you buy on-line. And please, pass this on to your family and friends… or anyone else who can help us help them. It is really simple and it is really secure, so go for it… I promise you, you will be very glad that you did!
P.S. We are also selling tickets up close and personal at Cal Ranch Store in Flagstaff every 2nd second and 4th weekend until September. We have sold tickets at the Pro Rodeo, Muddin’ in the Pines, the Coconino County Fair, the Gun Show and many other venues in Arizona that support our Veterans. In fact, we will be at the fair again this year, too! The Fair is being held at Fort Tuthill County Park. We will be selling raffle tickets and showing off the prizes and we will be having the final drawing, for this Rifle Raffle, on the last day of the fair!

The Prizes
Ruger "Take Down"
First, we have the Ruger Take Down! Brand new from Ruger. The Ruger has a 9mm Mag with a Glock Mag adapter. A Prepper's dream, the ammo you carry for your gun on your hip, also works for the rifle you can stash in your back pack.
Yes!!!, your back pack! No more bulky gun cases you have to sling over your shoulder, this Take Down comes apart like a Lego set! And has adapters for the stock, too!
Ruger "Charger"
It's a cross between John Wayne and Darth Vader! With this 22, you toooooo, can be a Storm Trooper! It stands all by its self on its own two legs, but they come off easily and then you can wear it as a side arm.
"So buy a ticket and 'Join the Rebellion', Pilgrim!"
