Industry Newcomer SERKET to Sponsor Richard D Winters Leadership Monument Project

Monday, May 28th, 2012

SERKET President Trey Harris chats with Easy Company veteran Al Mampre at a WWII Foundation Panel Discussion (April 2012).SERKET, a newcomer to the market, specializing in technical apparel solutions, has partnered with the World War II Foundation to dedicate a memorial in Normandy, France recognizing Major Richard D. Winters, the leadership principles he embodied and all of the American Soldiers who served during the Normandy phase of Operation Overlord.

Profiled in Steven Ambrose’s renowned best seller and the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, Major Dick Winters is most famous for his time as commander of Company “E”, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, during World War II.

Commissioned by the World War II Foundation and designed by internationally renowned sculptor Stephen Spears, the monument will be presented by SERKET on June 6, 2012 in Normandy (Sainte-Marie-du Mont) recognizing Major Richard D. Winters and all the American Army divisions and corps during the Normandy phase of Operation Overlord. Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, Governor Tom Ridge and WWII Foundation President Tim Gray will host the dedication ceremony in Normandy.

The World War II Foundation is accepting donations from those who would like to help cover the travel expenses of members of Easy Company Veterans who would like to attend the dedication in Normandy next month.

“We are honored to have the opportunity to support the World War II Foundation’s efforts to pay homage to Dick Winters, one of America’s great heroes, and all the Americans who served to protect freedom during World War II,” said SERKET President Trey Harris. “The work they are doing is essential to making sure that we not only remember the lessons of heroism, honor and sacrifice learned from World War II but we are also able to pass those lessons on to future generations of Americans.”

Memorial Day

Monday, May 28th, 2012

I’ve been reading for days about Memorial Day. Well, it’s finally here so it’s time that I talk about it. All I’d like everyone to do is to take a moment of silence at Noon today and honor those who’ve gone before us. We’ve lost a lot of brothers and sisters over the years who put ‘Us’ ahead of ‘Them.’ They deserve at least a moment of our time.

The BHI Gauer

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

We happen to love Pinzgauers and Blackheart International owns one. It has accompanied us to the range each day throughout our foreign weapons course, hauling weapons and ammunition to and fro.

Sure, I could have embedded this photo in one of the segments on the training, but this one stands out. A lot of companies own cool guy vehicles but they keep them as show pieces. The BHI Gauer is very much a reflection of the company; it’s a workhorse. As you can see, it gets used regularly.
