Dear CCA Members,

The 40 bottles of scotch donated to the Combat Control Association by Capt Stewart Parker have all been sold. The label number each person requested (See table below) have pretty much been confirmed, but we’ll have to wait for the shipment to arrive before we know for sure. Those who wanted two bottles will have to wait until Capt Parker makes a determination on the additional bottles he has reserved. Thank you all for supporting this fund raiser for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and the CCA Memorial & Unit Fund. Those who requested a bottle can mail their donation of at least $53 to the CCA address below… some checks have already been received. Thank you for participating.

KIMBER .45 ACP CCT COMMEMORATIVE EDITION

Thanks a lot for the help. Here is the newest mock-up from Kimber. Two changes though- There will be no green feet (only lightning bolt). And the display case will have a glass top with the CCT flash engraved in the glass. If you could change the old pics to this on the CCA website I would appreciate it so all the people can see the newest product.

Thanks again.
