TAPS is a pretty cool idea. It’s is a touchscreen sticker for your handwear, but it incorporates a unique fingerprint for touch ID. TAPS are formulated to stick and stay on almost any surface and guaranteed to work on all touchscreen devices. It’s a simple idea, but offers interesting applications for those who wear gloves all of the time.

The great folks at Badger Ordnance have donated an M40A5 rifle to the Recon Sniper Foundation which will be raffled to raise funds.
Recon Sniper Foundation is a registered 501C3 made up of mostly Recon and Scout Sniper Marines. They mostly provide emergency assistance to Veterans in need and most recently provided some much needed support to the Louisiana Flood victims. They’re a great foundation that helps some great men and women. They have no celebrity face of the charity, no cool guy t-shirts, and keep their financials publicly viewable on their website. Please help them out and get a raffle ticket.
To get tickets, visit www.reconsniperfoundation.org.

As a kid the RAF Vulcan was my favorite bomber. Probably because of its huge batlike structure, but also because I got to check out the cockpit on quite a few occasions because my dad’s wing would deploy to RAF Waddington regularly and they’d send a Vulcan across to our annual airshow so he knew many of their maintainers.
Fans of the Vulcan know that the type made its last flight just over a year ago with airframe XH558. Artist Nick Harrison commemorates the event with this Kickstarter campaign. It’s a great looking print.
Dear Friends,
Today, November 11, is Veterans Day – a holiday that honors every man and woman who has answered the call to service in the American Armed Forces. We ask you to take a moment to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by those warriors and their families. Our security and prosperity as a nation depends upon those who serve, and as Americans we have a responsibility to not only express our gratitude, but to take meaningful action to ensure their needs are met even after the uniform comes off.
In honor of Veterans Day, Radian Weapons is releasing limited edition OD Green Raptor Charging Handles and Talon Safety Selectors, from which 50% of sales will be donated to the Special Operations Care Fund (SOC-F). 100% of the money raised will be used to address the needs of wounded and fallen special operations warriors and their families. This is the first initiative Radian has undertaken to support our warfighters, but certainly not the last.
To our veterans, today we say thank you.
Sincerely,
Joshua Underwood
CEO
The Special Operations Care Fund (SOC-F) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, 100% volunteer, charitable organization that raises funds for the families of Special Operations warriors who have been wounded or killed.

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 27, 2016 – As the nation gears up to commemorate Veterans Day, a company dedicated to the health of America’s animals is stepping forward to ensure the health of the brave warriors who have made major sacrifices in fighting for our freedom. Kriser’s Natural Pet stores across the country are raising money to help American Humane, the country’s first national humane organization which has supported the U.S. military for 100 years, provide lifesaving service dogs to veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress (PTS).
Every day, 184 veterans are diagnosed with PTS and 20 die at their own hands – nearly one an hour. Waiting times for obtaining one of these highly trained critically important animals is estimated at between 12-18 months – far too long when the odds for heroes are this great.
To change these odds and save lives, Kriser’s Natural Pet stores across the country are collecting $1 donations from customers who visit their stores between November 6 and November 19 to help American Humane put healing leashes in the hands of veterans with post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries. Trained PTS service dogs are extremely expensive at around $20,000 apiece, but provide invaluable outcomes for veterans suffering the invisible wounds of war. Veterans with service dogs have reported improved sleep, decreased startle responses, and a decrease in the need for prescribed pain medication.
“As Veteran’s Day nears, we are proud to help support our true national heroes by raising funds and awareness to provide service animals as part of the Wags4Patriots initiative that American Humane coordinates,” said Brad Kriser, founder & CEO of Kriser’s Natural Pet. “In this month of Thanksgiving, our entire Kriser’s Pack gives thanks to the people who have served our country and the amazing companion animals that support them.”
“Honoring our veterans involves both commemoration and active participation on our parts,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, president and CEO of American Humane. “We all need to do what we can to care for and protect those who have sacrificed so much to protect us. Our veterans, including those who suffer from the invisible wounds of war, now need our help. I salute Kriser’s Natural Pet stores for choosing to stand with our veterans and urge Americans who love their pets – and our vets – to support this important effort on behalf of those who have given so much to this country.”
