On Saturday, September 9, 2023, Franklin Revolver & Rifle Association, Inc. held a combination Pistol and Rifle Match to raise funds to assist the Sussex Elks Lodge #2288 in bringing the National Iraq/Afghanistan Memorial, called “Remembering Our Fallen”, to Woodbourne Park in Wantage the weekend of September 8 – 11. This exhibit is a potographic war memorial honoring those who died in the Global War on Terror from September 11, 2001 to August 30, 2021.
For the past several months Franklin R&R members have been accepting donations from family and friends as they prepared for this year’s ‘Shoot For A Cause’ Event. The match proceeds and donations enabled Franklin R&R to present a check for $2,505 to the Sussex Elks Lodge #2288.
