Egg Wants You to Show Them How You Roll
Sunday, October 7th, 2012Combat Garden Gnomes
Thursday, October 4th, 2012What happens when you combine your average run of the mill garden gnome with the little green Army men you played with as a kid? Combat Garden Gnomes, that’s what.
They’ve got the Platoon Leader
There’s a flamethrower
You can even get a prone rifleman
They’ve also added a new character to the mix; RPG gunner
These aren’t all of the gnomes. There are a few additional styles. As you can see they are available painted or unpainted so that you can customize them.

Special Operations Pins
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012I recently ran across Special Operations Pins on Facebook. They offer a wide variety of pins like the ones shown below created for the 5 Active Duty SF Groups.
Special Operations Pins will provide a commemorative pin(s) to any Special Operations WIA, NOK Family (of a KIA), or Korean, WW II Veteran (and Family) free of charge and shipping upon request.
According to their Facebook page –
“We proudly support the Green Beret Foundation, The Special Operations Warrior Foundation, The Wounded Warrior Project, and The Point Du Hoc Foundation but we are not limited to these organizations in fund raising efforts to support our superb service members and their families. We frequently provide complimentary pins to our Special Operations friends purchasing from us – we strongly encourage our friends receiving these complimentary pins – not to thank us – but to return the gratitude to the outstanding men and women of our Armed Forces in a contribution of comparable value to any of these aforementioned organizations (or like minded non-profits).”
Information on purchasing pins is available through www.facebook.com/specialoperationspins.
Gothic Serpent Vet Talks About The Battle of Mogadishu
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012Country singer Keni Thomas was a Ranger serving in Mogadishu on Oct 3rd, 1993. Here, he speaks about his experience during the Oct 3rd raid that is commonly referred to as the Battle of Mogadishu..
Thanks to NRA Life of Duty for sharing this with us.
Operation Gothic Serpent
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012Today is the 19th Anniversary of the Oct 3rd Raid during which elements of TF Ranger, deployed to Mogadishu, Somalia conducted an operation on that city’s Olympic Hotel in order to capture key leaders of the Aidid Militia.
Unfortunately, during the exfil portion of the raid a battle ensued that claimed the lives of 18 Americans and wounded another 73. Additionally, CW3 Michael Durant was captured by the militia. Fortunately, Durant was later repatriated and went on to retire from the 160th.
For those of you unfamiliar, one of the best accounts of the battle is contained in the book, “Blackhawk Down” by author Mark Bowden. Much of the information was serialized prior to the book’s publication in the Philadelphia Enquirer. Later this was made into a movie bearing the same name.
Please take a moment to remember these men and their sacrifice.
