Recently, the Iowa Firearms Coalition held its annual Capitol Second Amendment Day, and your NRA-ILA Grassroots Team was proud to represent the NRA! Taking place on February 18th, 2025, in Des Moines, it was a day of celebrating America's Second Amendment freedoms. This year, guest speakers included Maj. Jeff Struecker, known for his involvement in “Black Hawk Down,” and the NRA’s very own CEO & Executive Vice President, Doug Hamlin.
Doug talked about the successes of the NRA and its continued efforts in defense of freedom. His message left those in attendance motivated to engage in the fight and many rushed to join or renew their memberships following his presentation. The NRA has invested considerable amounts of resources into promoting & protecting the Second Amendment both nationally and in Iowa. Your NRA was honored to take part in this annual pro-2A event!
Maj. Struecker, a permanent resident of the US Army Ranger Hall of Fame since 2017, enlisted in the U.S. Army at age 18 as an Infantryman, and retired as a chaplain with over 22 years of active federal service. His combat experience includes participation in the invasion of Panama, Operation Desert Storm, Black Hawk Down in Somalia, and more than a dozen combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Jeff has been awarded medals for valor in combat and has received many medals as recognition for his service in the US Army.
