Winchester Ammunition recently pledged $125,000 to the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members of the U.S. armed forces.
The Winchester USA VALOR collection of military-inspired ammunition pays tribute to our fighting forces while supporting Folds of Honor and providing support for the bearers of their legacy through educational scholarships. The options for the USA VALOR ammunition are Rifle (5.56), Handgun (9mm), and Shotshell (12 Gauge).

The USA VALOR 9mm ammunition has consistent accuracy that can be trusted for target and range shooting. The ammo has a full metal jacket that provides positive functioning and no expansion. It also has reduced barrel fouling so there are fewer required cleanings and more range time.

“We are thankful for the opportunity to support the families of those heroes through our partnership with Folds of Honor,” said Winchester President Brett Flaugher. “Winchester has proudly supported our U.S. Warfighters for more than 100 years on battlefields around the world and during times of peace.”
Folds of Honor is a nonprofit organization whose educational scholarships support private school tuition or tutoring in grades K-12 as well as postsecondary tuition (two- or four-year college/university, technical, or trade school). Since its start in 2007 by Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor has awarded more than 29,000 scholarships totaling more than $145 million in all 50 states.
Winchester remains steadfastly focused on our heritage of integrity, quality, and reliability in serving the U.S. Warfighter—in peace and in battle.
