Phillip Buys
Ambassador
“I started shooting competition in 2020 to train more between contracts overseas and instantly got addicted to pursuing excellence in the craft. I am a prior Marine infantry mortarman and forward observer. With my career choices over the last decade, I was instantly drawn to what Memorial 3 Gun did for the Gold Star and Surviving families back home, and I knew I wanted to be a part of something that impactful. Being part of the M3G family is one of the best things I have had the privilege of doing. Now I am a husband, father and firefighter in the state of Tennessee. Pursue excellence; stay strong.”

Dave Gaucher
Ambassador
“I first became aware of the Memorial 3 Gun Foundation in 2018, shortly following the inaugural match, the same year we lost my cousin, Marine Capt. Sam Phillips, in the Warhorse 41 crash. I immediately registered for the 2019 match and submitted my application to represent the Foundation as an ambassador. I’m blessed to have continued in that role, as I am keenly aware of how important it is for Gold Star and Surviving families to know that their fallen soldiers’ names are never forgotten. So we say their names.”

“I became an ambassador because Memorial 3 Gun is one of the very few organizations that directly supports Gold Star and Surviving families. Gold Star and Surviving families are often overlooked, and this organization is one of the few that offers direct support to these families. I’m beyond proud to represent this organization and support the families that have given so much for this nation.”

Jacob Penzias
Ambassador
“I’ve been blessed to be connected to the MVF by either participating or volunteering since the first annual match in 2018. After I lost friends during service, this foundation has allowed me to use my passion for a cause that is so much more than just raising money. Volunteering the last several years has allowed me to see just how much Gold Star and Surviving families are impacted by the work we do at the Foundation, which can be seen in the smiles on the faces of all the families who attend our events and the kind words they share with us. It’s my honor to be a part of this, to serve and give back to a community and families that have done so much for me, my family and our country.”
