Wednesday, June 6th, 2012Chrome Custom Military Salvage Program
Wednesday, June 6th, 2012
Now through June 30th, Chrome honors US Military personnel by inviting Veterans and their families to bring their military duffles or fatigues to one of Chrome’s four HUB locations in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Portland. Chrome bag makers will use this material to create a Custom Citizen Messenger bag for the cost of a regular Citizen Messenger bag.
This Custom Salvage Citizen was built last year for Army Veteran Jared Morford of Watertown, South Dakota from the duffle he carried to Iraq.
Hit up a HUB near you for more information:
San Francisco at SFHUB@chromebags.com
Portland at PDXHUB@chromebags.com
Chicago at CHIHUB@chromebags.com
New York City at NYCHUB@chromebags.com

Monday, June 4th, 2012
AWA President, Bill Ivey, presents a check for $2,000 to the Armed Forces Foundation at the close of fundraising activities on May 10th, 2012.
The Asymmetric Warrior Association (AWA) held its Fourth Annual Golf Tournament and Fundraiser at Renditions Grand Slam Experience located in Davidsonville, Maryland on May 10th, 2012. The AWA was formed in order to foster camaraderie among all ranks of the Asymmetric Warfare Group and support scholarships and charitable donations. This year, AWA raised awareness of Wounded Warrior and Transitioning Soldier issues and provided a check for $2,000 to the Armed Forces Foundation. AWA also plans to present a $2,000 check to Homes for Our Troops and award several college scholarships to AWA dependents. These donations could not have been possible without the support of AWA’s corporate sponsors that included: Vision Technologies, Inc., Heckler & Koch, Beretta, Knight’s Armament Company, Ensign-Bickford Aerospace & Defense Company, Booz/Allen/Hamilton, Nike Golf, Chick-Fil-A, Tranter Graphics, and Spyderco.
AWA President, Bill Ivey, says thank you to a wounded warrior from Bethesda, Maryland’s Transition Center during the Award’s Ceremony at the end of the Golf Tournament and Fundraiser on May 10th, 2012.

Support Battling Bare
Sunday, June 3rd, 2012
Battling Bare. Comprised of a different sort of warrior, helping husbands heal from PTSD. They use tasteful, moving pictures to get their message across. Consider supporting them and please: if you comment, keep it tasteful. To do otherwise is to heap insult on top of injury, and frankly is missing the point altogether. These ladies are bringing an entirely different perspective to combat related PTSD; they’re without a doubt worthy of your support.
Broken by battle…
Wounded by war…
My love is FOREVER–to you this I SWORE.
I WILL:
Quiet your silent screams…
Help heal your shattered soul…
Until once again, my love…
YOU ARE WHOLE!
Battle bare.
