Our commitment to providing servicemen and women with the best gear possible is our year-round way of honoring these professionals," said 5.11 CEO and Co-Founder, Francisco J. Morales. "As the public safety professional's choice, we use 5.11 Days as an opportunity to celebrate these men and women who entrust our brand to provide them with the best performing gear possible throughout the year." Morales concludes, "Being a part of this community is something we don't take lightly and we thank you, as well as your families, for answering the call to serve."
