Even though we publish several times a day, some of you can’t seem to get enough SSD, so here are some other options:

Twitter
Our list of followers on Twitter continues to grow. In addition to alerts of new stories we also release information through Twitter that might be of interest to our readers or is related to our core content but originates elsewhere.

Facebook
We launched our Facebook page awhile back and are jut beginning to make use of it. Dissatisfied with how we have seen some companies use their accounts we wanted to get in there with a plan to make the experience more meaningful. Look for lots of content soon.

iPhone
Our iPhone app has been extremely popular and delivers the latest updates directly to your iPhone each time you open it. Yes, the Android app is on the way…be patient.
iTunes

M4Carbine.net
M4Carbine.net has been most gracious in offering us a dedicated sub-forum to interact with our readers. Not only is it a great place to discuss our articles and current issues in the Soldier Systems industry but M4Carbine.net gives access to the best group of Subject Matter Experts we have run across. No over-inflated CVs, no BS, just good information. Military, Law Enforcement, or a fan of the Black Rifle? You should be a member of M4Carbine.net.

Youtube
We post videos for our articles on our Youtube channel. Additionally, we make use of content posted by others. Always be on the look out for more content.

Kindle
Subscriptions to SSD’s content are available for the Kindle via Amazon. Don’t forget there is a Kindle reader for iPhone and iPad.
Environmental Clothing Systems on ADS Inc’s web site. You will also begin to see some of our stuff in print. We have also posted content from the Mad Duo and others.

Also, something very exciting is happening to SSD very soon. Once we get over this busy trade show season, a big change is coming.

One final word. None of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors. We have affiliated ourselves with reputable companies who provide solid products and services and we would not hesitate to recommend any of them. At SSD we look at our sponsorship program as a two-way street. We are endorsing them as much as they are us and we urge you to support them.

We are constantly improving our fighting position, so if you have any additional ideas on ways SSD can do more for you, please feel free to share them with us.

SSD would like to send a message out to all of our deployed American and allied forces who give us so much to be thankful for. We wish you safety and success. Not to be forgotten, we owe just as much to our troops who are at home station as well as our Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS and other Public Safety professionals.

Thank You All!

This week we are going to intersperse some of our older articles along with new content. We thought this week, since it should be a little slower would be a great time to introduce our newer readers to our classic articles.

We are at the point of the year when folks are looking for worthy charities and we think we have found one. Set up specifically to assist wounded and fallen Special Forces Soldiers and their families, the Green Beret Foundation helps ease the burdens caused by gaps in the care system for our wounded, ill, injured and their families. Initially, they have established a presence at Fort Bragg but GBF plans to operate at every base with a Special Forces Group.

The Green Beret Foundation helps out in a variety of ways but what is most important is that they fill in the gaps and help out in ways that they military and government systems are unable to. For example, there are the odd occasion where the military will not cover travel for care. GBF helps assist with the transportation. However, make sure you take a look at their website to get an idea of everything that they do.

GBF is a registered non-profit and can accept your donations in a variety of ways. Thanks to Blackheart International for letting us know about the Green Beret Foundation.

Originally intended to commemorate the end of the “Great War” and those who sacrificed life, limb, and youth, this Veterans Day is also celebrated by our close allies in the Commonwealth of Nations as Remembrance Day. America and her allies learned that war didn’t end in 1918 and we have all stuck together since. We have kept our freedom but it came at a price.

We here at SSD would like to thank our Veterans, their families and those that support them in Government and industry. Our very way of life we owe to service and sacrifice of these men and women. If you know a Veteran, or just happen to meet one on the street today, thank them for their service and also remember those who have sacrificed.

Thank You All from SSD

At 13,986,790 hits in October, we enjoyed our best month ever. Considering just 18 months ago we brought in just 1.7 Million hits, SSD is doing very well at reaching out to the masses. We really appreciate our readers and we want to thank you for visiting, but please don’t forget that we publish at least once per day and sometimes up to six articles in a single day. So don’t forget to check in regularly and tell your friends to do the same.
