PRLog (Press Release) - May 25, 2012 - Global Defense Initiatives Inc (GDI) announces their support of the Lone Survivor Foundation through the donation of 20% of all online proceeds.  This donation is being given in support and recognition for the service and sacrifice by all of the United States Armed Forces and their families.
