April 16, 2012 marked the 25th Anniversary of USSOCOM. Having spent many years of my career in Army, Air Force, and Joint SOF units, I have a special affinity for the command and its personnel.
However, today marks a different anniversary. In the early morning hours of 25 April, 1980 President Carter announced to a stunned world that the United States had undertaken an ambitious raid into Iran to liberate 52 American hostages held at our Embassy. Unfortunately, that raid, named Operation Eagle Claw was unsuccessful and we lost 8 American servicemen. Remember their sacrifice.
But, this failure was the watershed event that created, over the next several decades the world’s preeminent Special Operations capability; USSOCOM and it’s components.

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation has long been our favorite charity going back to when our founder was still on active duty. As we’ve said time and time again, one of the best ways to get folks to give is when you give them something to show for it. SOWF has teamed with Lifecordgear.com to offer two new products including paracord bracelets and key fobs.
The bracelets are available in 5 color options with a choice of plastic buckle or adjustable steel shackle. The key fob is offered in 3 sizes and 5 color combos.
These products are officially licensed by the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and 100% of the net profits for each item sold will go directly to the SOWF. Plus, they are Made in USA!
