I love the Open Letter to All Americans. Makes me prouder than ever to say that all 5 AR15s in my vault bear the Colt name.

I think it's great!!!!
Here's the text from the Colt Web site.

Open Letter to All Americans:

We mourn the terrible loss of life and mass destruction caused by our enemy’s recent attack on the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, and its attempt on other American landmarks and symbols. We pray for these victims and pray for America.

For many families and whole communities, normal life has been inalterably changed for the worse. But for our Nation, we as American citizens have gained a welcomed, renewed and re-spirited sense of patriotism and love for democracy and freedom, institutions that we have so often taken for granted.

Now is the time to truly rally behind our President, the Federal government, and all those men and women in uniform who will be required to take the fight to the enemy. Let’s give them our full support and sacrifice in every way possible. This country has witnessed an enemy threat to our democracy and freedom of a kind, extent and degree unequaled in the annals of world history. In the coming months, perhaps years, we must stay the course at all costs to ensure our determination and resolve, and that of our allies, to defeat this new enemy.

Colt  Firearms stands ready and proud, to do what we do best, as we have done for the past 165 years, to help defend the United States of America.

God bless America.

I too saw the letter and it made me feel good about owning a Colt Ar-15.  

Armalite's president posted one in there forum here on this board.  I don't know if it is on their website though.

Sorry about the double post!

Makes me damn proud to be American, and equally proud to be a Colt owner.

Have you hugged your Colt today?

I almost went to hug a Colt AR15 but realized that they pants for the anti gunners and produced a non spec rifle.  Then I looked at my mil spec Colt 614 and realized again that they would have never sold it to me.  Basically what I am getting at is, "kind words at a moment of tragedy will not make me forget all the times they abandoned us in the past".

The Azalin

Know what ya mean.  I watched "tales of the gun" week or so ago.  It was about COLT.
After it was over, i had to get my AR out and look at it.  Had to appreciate the history of colt.  COLT=AMERICA.


Damn i love this country.................
