FRESNO, CA - September 14, 2005 - Jim Kochheiser, Director of Project Bore Snake (http://ProjectBoreSnake.org/) announced today the project is now fully prepared to provide all of the envisioned services to our frontline soldiers in theatre in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Project BoreSnake was created to help American soldiers with their weapon cleaning needs by furnishing state of the art materials not available through normal military sources. The harsh daily environments found in Afghanistan and Iraq include fine-grained sand and wind, requiring our soldiers to clean their weapons many times a day to ensure proper function.

The project purchases materials from Hoppe's, a leader in manufacture and distribution of their patented and very sophisticated "BoreSnake" cleaning devices along with their Elite Cleaner and Oil products.

Using their first class website (donated by AmmoGuide) to conduct all activities, the project can receive tax-deductible donations which are automatically deposited into the banking accounts of one of the sponsors, the East Fresno Kiwanis Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization.

Families and loved ones from around the world can use the website to nominate their favorite soldier to receive the project's standard "Snake Kit" in .223 and 9mm Calibers, with Cleaner and Oil, or the selection can call for the "Sniper Kit" which provides these highly trained specialists the larger .308 and .50 Caliber "BoreSnakes" for front line sniper duty. These kits also include Cleaner and Oil.

Testimonials, from on duty soldiers, received through the website, have confirmed the value of the project and the validity of the need. Donations have come from people of all walks of life with one common interest: to help our soldiers come home safe and sound after doing their very important work.
