SSD,
Taken over a year ago at Culloden Battlefield in Scotland.
The Battle of Culloden was the final confrontation of the Jacobite rising of
1745. On 16 April 1746, the Jacobite forces of Charles Edward Stuart were
decisively defeated by loyalist troops commanded by William Augustus, Duke of
Cumberland, near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.
Between 1,500 and 2,000 Jacobites were killed or wounded in the brief battle.
In contrast, only about 300 government soldiers were killed or wounded. The
conflict was the last pitched battle fought on British soil.
If your ever find yourself in Scotland, go to Culloden. Outstanding museum
that routes you directly out to the battlefield that takes you through the
“road to Culloden” and why it matters so much in a larger sense. The
battlefield itself is well marked and easy to walk. You get a real sense of
what took place there in 1745 and why it ended the way it did.
Very respectfully,
SFC MW

Ask SSD – Where Can I Get A KCRF Patch?
Saturday, June 23rd, 2018There are two ways to get a “Keep Calm and Return Fire” Patch.
The first is to run into me at one of the many industry events I attend each year and do for one.
The second way is to purchase one from my friend Dave at Mojo Tactical in Honolulu, Hawaii. Since most people don’t make it go Honolulu regularly, it’s a good thing his website is back up. He offers the patch in multiple colors, but this one remains my favorite.
