**GOAL Represented at the Veterans Top Shot Invitational**
Kerrie Ann Auclair, our GOAL Outreach Director, proudly attended this year’s 7th annual Veterans Top Shot Invitational. Kerrie Ann Auclair Is the daughter of a U.S. Marine and part of a family with deep military roots—including her grandparents, father-in-law, and uncle—Kerrie Ann stood tall among fellow patriots to honor those who have served and sacrificed for our nation.
The Veterans Top Shot Invitational, hosted by Heroes In Transition, is a powerful annual event that supports veterans and active-duty service members through fundraising and fellowship. Held at Cape Gun Works in Hyannis, the event featured a shooting competition, and Kerrie Ann was proud to participate once again bringing both skill and heart to the firing line in support of a cause close to all our hearts.
For the third year in a row, Kerrie Ann had the privilege of singing the National Anthem to open the event. Her voice rang out in honor of the men and women who make our freedoms possible—a reminder that the Second Amendment is not just a right, but a responsibility handed down by those who served to protect it.
She also stood beside State Representative Steven Xiarhos of Cape Cod, a Gold Star father who lost his son, USMC Corporal Nicholas G. Xiarhos, in Afghanistan. Rep. Xiarhos continues to honor his son’s memory through initiatives like Big Nick’s Ride for the Fallen and remains a steadfast advocate for our veteran community as well as the protection of our Second Amendment.
“At GOAL, we don’t just defend rights—we honor the people who make those rights possible,” Kerrie Ann said. “It was a privilege to be there, not just to sing, but as a proud American committed to protecting both the legacy and the future of our freedoms.”
GOAL is proud of Kerrie Ann’s leadership and dedication to our veterans, our rights, and our community. Events like this remind us why we fight to preserve the Second Amendment—and why we must never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice for it and for our freedoms.
God Bless America.
