NRA Life of Duty – Patriot Profiles – The Spooner Brothers

Friday, November 2nd, 2012

This is a preview of NRA Life of Duty Patriot Profiles – Broken & Undone: “To be an American.” It features the story of Tom and Scot Spooner, Army Special Operations Veterans and founders of Invictus Alliance Group.

“It’s pretty damn amazing to be an American.”
-Scot Spooner

Scot and Tom, the more I know you, the more I like you. Scot’s opening comments in this video about being an American very much parallel my own feelings over the past few years as I came to grips with being a civilian. It was great to hear something similar from him. Thank you. Thank you both.

I’ve watched most if not all of the Patriot Profile series but at least from this trailer, this one touches me the most. The full feature will deal with PTSD and that’s one thing I don’t deal with but many of my friends do. It’s important that we all begin to learn about it.

Designed as a combination of their Tactical Tomahawk and FastHawk, it features an extended cutting head, compact glass-reinforced nylon handle, and metal butt cap. It is 12.56″ long and a cutting blade that is 3.5″ x .26″.

The Voodoo Hawk – Limited Edition is numbered and engraved with the SOG MACV skull insignia, and includes an exclusive special edition MultiCam sheath by London Bridge Trading Company. Most importantly, 50% of all proceeds from the 500 pieces will be donated to Special Operations Warrior Foundation, specializing in providing scholarships, counseling, and financial assistance to special operations personnel and their families.

Limited to 500.

Merchant of War Patch

Thursday, November 1st, 2012

One Shot Tactical explains the Merchant of War patch.

When we got put on a protest list with Lockhead Martin, General Dynamics, Thales and other defense contractors, we were a little shocked, and exited.

They called the list “Merchants of War” and “War Profiteers”.

As word has spread, the catch phrase “Official Merchant of War” stuck.

What makes this even better is that they are a Canadian company. The folks at One Shot Tactical are our kind of people.

New Facebook App Lets Veterans Share Their “Story”

Monday, October 29th, 2012

USAMM recently launched a new Facebook application via its ecommerce stores called “Rack Stamp,” allowing military personnel and veterans to share their military awards online.

The Rack Stamp app utilizes USAMM’s popular EzRackBuilder – an online software program allowing users to build and purchase their military ribbon and medal award racks for wear on their dress uniforms.

The new patent-pending Rack Stamp app, now featured in the EzRackBuilder program on usamilitarymedals.com and usamm.com, gives those current military and veteran users an additional medium for showing off their awards. Veterans and military personnel using the program can now simply push a button and “stamp” a perfect graphical image of their rack to their Facebook page. It’s an effort to let military veterans share their history.

“Our concept was embracing the idea that veterans are special, and, for most veterans, their ribbon or medal rack is a highly personal and concise record of their service,” said Jared Zabaldo, USAMM LLC, President of Business Operations. USAMM owns and operates usamilitarymedals.com and usamm.com.

“That idea and the fact that in this mobile world, there should be a fast, efficient method of conveying that story to the people that care about that veteran – but who may not fully understand what they’ve been involved with as a member of the military – was the inspiration,” said Zabaldo.

In addition to the graphic image stamped to the Facebook page, by simply clicking on links provided by the application’s posting, “friends” can instantly glean detailed information about a service-member’s individual awards.

Green Beret Pro Am Shoot 2012

Sunday, October 28th, 2012

The Green Beret Foundation provides, fittingly enough, unconventional resources to facilitate the special needs of wounded, ill and injured Green Berets and imparts unique support to the Special Forces community in order to strengthen readiness and uphold Green Beret traditions and values.

You or your company can help the Green Beret Foundation in its endeavor to assist our nation’s finest by sponsoring a shooter for the 2nd Annual Green Beret Pro-Am Shooting Match sponsored by Raidon Tactics Inc. and hosted by 37 PSR Gun Club.

The Green Beret Pro-Am is being held on 12 November 2012 from 10am til 5pm. There will be five shooting stages, each testing the shooting abilities of each team member. The teams will consist of a wounded Green Beret and a sponsored competitor. You or your company can support a team or be a competitor yourself. The minimum donation to participate as a Competitor is $500 with 100% of your donation going directly to the GBF. There will be no overhead taken out of any donation funds. All sponsors that are not able to participate can still assist the GBF by donating prizes or other goods and services in support of this event. Last year the event raised $13,000 and they want to increase the amount this year to at least $20,000.
