“Our fencing protects a rancher’s livestock from getting lost or injured. It protects our customers’ land and animals,” says Dan Geller, vice president of sales and marketing for animal management.

“Because we protect what matters most to ranchers and farmers, we support the noble cause of the Armed Forces Foundation, an organization devoted to helping military men and women who have sacrificed to protect what matters most to all of us.”

Founded in 2001, the AFF offers vital assistance to active-duty and retired military personnel, National Guard, Reserve Components and military families. Through its programs, the organization seeks to raise awareness and advocacy for post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, as well as other hidden wounds of war.

Ninety-five percent of every dollar raised goes directly to support servicemen and women, says Patricia Driscoll, president and executive director of the foundation.
