MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., Dec. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- InVestUSA, a charitable organization that contributes bulletproof vests to law enforcement and other first responders who help maintain the peace, is donating 5 Active Shooter Vests to the Horry County (Myrtle Beach) Sheriff's Office in honor of Horry County Sheriff's Office Deputy Kent Grause, who died Monday, December 27, 2021, with over 35 years of law enforcement experience.

The donation is to start 2022 properly in "protecting those who protect us," says Invest USA CEO Michael Letts. InVest USA has donated 7500 vests to date.

The donation from InVest USA will include five Active Shooter Vests to the Horry County, South Carolina (Myrtle Beach) Sheriff's Office. The contribution is in honor of the Horry County Deputy Kent Grause, who died on December 27, 2021 after 35 years of law enforcement experience.

The donation ceremony is scheduled for January 1, 2022 at 11:00 am Eastern Time at the Horry County Sheriff's Office at 1301 2nd Avenue, Conway, South Carolina. Speakers will include Horry County Sheriff Phillip E. Thompson, Michael Letts, and Horry County Chief Deputy Tom Fox.

Vests are the armor that allows officers to return to their families at the end of their day."

"We thank and support our brave men and women who daily put their lives on the line to protect the American people," said Michael Letts," adding, "This is a great opportunity to show our support for the thin blue line! We at InVestUSA believe that those who serve their communities should not be without the best protection and safety measures available."
