Special Operations Pins

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

I 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.

Operation Gothic Serpent

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

Today 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.

Kilted to Kick Cancer in the UK

Monday, September 24th, 2012

What do you get when you take “Kilted to Kick Cancer”, take it to the UK and then add a dash of MultiCam? You get this.

SSD reader SKN Neilson shared his project with us to participate in KTKC UK and do so in style. He created his own MultiCam kilt after reading about the 5.11 MultiCam kilt we mentioned on April Fool’s Day. Neilson’s was no fool’s errand tho. He put a lot of effort into it. For example, the sporran is a UK issue commander’s admin pouch with a KTKC UK’s patch velcro’d on it.

To support his effort visit www.justgiving.com/KiltedToKickCancerUK. It’s a great cause intended to raise awareness and funding for prostate cancer.
