HAWTHORNE, NJ, August 06, 2012 (Press-News.org) US Elite LLC (US-EliteGear.com) announced today a campaign to raise money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF). The campaign pays tribute to the warriors whose helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011 - and extends their legacy through helping to fund their children's college education. US Elite is donating 10% of sales of its exclusive Arc'teryx LEAF products to the SOWF.
On Aug. 6, 2011, a Chinook helicopter was shot down west of Kabul, Afghanistan. The crash killed all 38 people on board including 25 US Special Operations Forces (Navy and Air Force), 5 National Guard and Army Reserve crewmen, 7 Afghan commandos and 1 Afghan interpreter (also a military dog who was on the mission). They were a quick reaction force on their way to reinforce an engaged Special Operations unit when they were shot down.
In memory of the 38 warriors who lost their lives in this tragedy, from August 1 - 12, US Elite is offering its exclusive Arc'teryx LEAF Jackets for half price, and donating 10% of sales from this campaign to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. The US Elite Arc'teryx LEAF Jackets are the "BAJ" (aka "BadAss Jacket") Covert Zip and the "Radiator" Gamma AR, both in Crocodile color.
"We believe in getting involved, and making a difference in the Community," said Steve Keefer, CEO of US Elite and former member of the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment. "We believe this campaign - which is the first time we've mixed our commercial and charitable endeavors - offers a balance of paying tribute to the fallen, while at the same time celebrating the living, by
helping fund college educations."
SOWF has been supporting the families of fallen and wounded special operations personnel since 1980 through its two programs: College scholarships for the children of fallen special operations personnel; and immediate financial assistance for the severely wounded, to allow families to be together at bedside during convalescence. SOWF is in an elite category of fiscal
management and accountability, as measured by the independent and credible Charity Navigator, having earned a coveted four-star rating 6 years in a row.
"US Elite, through this generous promotion, will help make dreams come true for some very special children who have had to suffer through what no child should have to face -- the loss of a parent," said John Carney, President/CEO of the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. "Because of this effort, the children of fallen special operations heroes will know that there are caring Americans out there that want them to succeed in life and that their fallen parent's sacrifice will always be remembered,"

Social Care Quality Assurance - the Missing Piece of the Jigsaw?
2012-08-06
With a renewed focus on quality assurance in light of recent inspection results, it's time local authorities looked to the cause rather than the symptoms.
HCL Social Care managing director Stephen Hockey points out whilst a number of authorities have attempted to tackle inspection shortfalls, long term effectiveness can vary and when regulating bodies such as Ofsted revisit, oversights mean senior and middle managers ultimately pay the price.
"The question we should be asking is not how authorities can get files signed off as quickly as possible but how they ...
