The Gary Sinise Foundation was officially formed in 2010, and is dedicated to serving the Nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.
The Gary Sinise Foundation is very well known for their support of the troops. They are now offering these cool Black beanies embroidered with the foundation logo. Not only will you get a nice cap, but it will also do some good for our community.
Lest we forget to tell you, a team from the 5th SFG(A) won last week’s US Army Special Operations Command Sniper Competition at Ft Bragg, NC. They beat out a field of international teams to claim the title.

These badges were designed for wear by the models of the 2011 Hot Shots Calendar. Proceeds from the sales of this popular pinup calendar are used to raise funds for several US military charities as well as the UK’s Help for Heroes. Interest in these badge designs has been so great that Hot Shots made them into morale patches. Currently, only the Army, Air Force and Police patches are available.
Here’s something cool that I ran across for my USAF Security Forces buddies. It says ‘Security Police’ which reminds me. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since the change but do any of you guys remember why they changed it from SP to SF?
While today is the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack on the US fleet at Pearl Harbor, it’s not hard for some to look at that day as ancient history and make the argument that by bringing it up every year, it perpetuates long held grudges. And to them I say, “Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.” Just consider my generation’s Pearl Harbor; the 9/11 attacks. Once again, America was the victim of a surprise attack that shocked the world. But, just like after Pearl Harbor, when America was attacked on 9/11 her citizens banded together and dealt with her aggressors. We must always be vigilant.
So here is my salute to America’s Greatest Generation and more so to those who served in the military during the inter-war years. That was true dedication. Thank you for showing us the way. May we always follow your example. And, a moment of silence for the 2402 Americans who were lost on that day and the hundreds more who were wounded in service to this great Nation.
President Roosevelt called today, “A date which will live in infamy.” May we never forget it.
Rogue Gunfighter: “Tego, Sine, Metu” meaning “To Protect/Defend, Without Fear”.
