Doug Hamlin - NRA CEO & EVP
from Warrior Wednesday - Iowa Firearms Coalition
Join IFC! Doug Hamlin joins IFC today for our 100th Warrior Wednesday Episode. WOOT! The NRA CEO and EVP came to lead NRA forward after a lifetime of hard work, honor and service, but don't expect this humble, down-to-earth leader to tell you so himself. "I'm a Midwesterner at heart. I'm from the great state of Michigan," he said. "At a young age, I had high hopes to be a U.S. Marine, and I was fortunate to get that opportunity. I served on active duty for six years as an infantry officer, and I also was on recruiting duty." Of course, there's no such thing as a "retired" Marine, but once Hamlin's active duty had come to a close, he chose to serve America in a new way: Championing the American tradition of firearms ownership and gun safety for Petersen Publishing Company, which houses such titles as Guns & Ammo and MotorTrend. It was only natural that his star would one day rise over the National Rifle Association. Hamlin's star shines not for self-glorification, but only as a navigation point, like the North Star. The destination: home. "We want you to go to NRA.org, join, get your friends to renew their memberships, donate to our organization, learn about the programs that are available, and support the organization," said Hamlin. "We need you to come home. We need you now more than ever before."
