Tuesday, June 14th, 2011Father’s Day Gift Idea – Tactical Grilling
Sunday, June 12th, 2011We’ve extolled the virtues of Tactical Grilling before, but now they have an all new website and even more kick ass products so we thought, what with Father’s Day coming up, it would be a good idea to put the word out. Tactical Grilling is really gaining in popularity as you can see from this photo featuring “America’s Chefs” outfitted in Tactical Grilling kit on their recent trip to GITMO.
Their Tactical Apron is PALS compatible. In addition to adding any of your own pouches, they offer the Tactical Spatula Sheath as well as the Tactical Beer Shingle. Aprons and pouches are available in UCP, MultiCam, Coyote, Woodland, LE and Fire. That’s right, Tactical Grilling listened and added colors to show your LE or Fire pride.
Tactical Grilling products are Made in USA.

Battle Mug
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011It’s getting VERY hot here at the home office and one of the best ways to cool down is to take a big, cool drink. So, why not do it in style? Featuring 4 Mil Std 1913 rails, the Battle Mug starts life as a 13.5 pound! solid block of 6061 T6 billet aluminum before it enters a state of the art CNC facility. What comes out is a 24 ounce tankard that screams warrior. The idea came about over beers and a conversation about a pile of removable M4 carrying handles.
Battle Mug has been used in a variety of ways; to commemorate commissioning, to honor others and hail & farewells, and as gifts for loved ones.
Battle Mug is Made in USA and can be customized in a variety of ways including various finishes. Additionally, the Picatinny rails will accept any number of accessories, including those pesky M4 carrying handles which make tipping back a brew or two a snap.

Volunteers Plant 56,000 Flags at Boston Area Veterans Cemetery
Sunday, May 29th, 2011Paul Monti, father of deceased Medal of Honor recipient SFC Jared Monti led a team of volunteers as they placed 56,000 American flags on graves at the Bourne National Cemetery in Massachusetts.
His efforts are the result of his frustration at being unable to place a flag on his son’s grave. The good news is, he was able to get a waiver to the policy. The bad news? It is only for Memorial day.
What the hell is wrong with this country? I am getting a bit fed up of the stories about restrictions on display of the flag; our national symbol. We really need some legislation to protect display of the flag.
