Infidel Caps has just made their newest shirt available for pre-sale. The “Bin Laden” shows the perfect cocktail mix for the recently-departed terrorist mastermind on the back, while the term Infidel rides on the front, a view our enemies have of us which has easily become a term of endearment. The shirts are available in both black and grey, and come in sizes ranging from small to 2XL. Plus, bin Laden’s head is a martini olive with an AK for a toothpick. How can you not like that?
You can order this shirt, and other fine Infidel products, at infidelcaps.webs.com

Unless you’ve been living on Mars, you’ve heard about The Boot Campaign by now. Their motto is simple; “When They Come Back, We Give Backâ€. Founded by five Southern ladies from Texas who call themselves “The Boot Girlsâ€, The Boot Campaign provides a tangible way for Americans to show support of our troops and directly benefit our military through purchases of boots and other merchandise. Bates Footwear has teamed with them to add several footwear styles to the program. Proceeds from purchasing signature boots from The Boot Campaign are donated to their charity partners including the Lone Survivor Foundation, Not Alone, Wounded Wear, and Military Warriors Support Foundation.
Celebrities have taken up the cause and supporters range from country music stars Joe Nichols and Dolly Parton to TV and radio host Glenn Beck. Sports and Political figures such as The Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Cubs and the Governor
of Texas, Rick Perry have been spotted wearing the military fashioned boots to show their support. But they need everyone’s support if they are going to meet their goal of seeing one million Americans in a pair of Boot Campaign
“give back†boots. This isn’t just for uniformed professionals but rather for everyone and there are many styles to choose from.
As Ron Woznick, Vice President & General Manager for Bates, said; “Bates has the honor of providing footwear to thousands of Warfighters each year that selflessly protect our country. Their sacrifices and commitment are simply amazing. We are privileged to begin working more closely with The Boot Campaign, who has done a phenomenal job of drawing attention and supporting our military heroes.â€

SureFire has teamed up with the Task Force Dagger Foundation (TFDF) to offer a special-edition Echo knife—engraved with the TFDF logo—for the reduced price of $150. Twenty-five dollars from every sale will go to the Task Force Dagger Foundation to assist USASOC soldiers and their families who are experiencing financial difficulties.
I’ve had an Echo knife for almost two years and really like it. It’s a sturdy design and the Tan sheath can be adapted for use with virtually any load carrying system by using Bawidamann’s PALS Universal Platform. Some don’t like the small serrated edge segment on the blade but I don’t mind it one bit. It’s a great duty fixed blade and is being offered at a fantastic price. If that alone wasn’t enough to convince you to pick one up then the donation to the Task Force Dagger Foundation ought to clench the deal. Get yours at www.SureFire.com.
A former Air Force pilot is helping a fellow veteran get started in business. Jack Child, the founder of pavement-marking franchise YELLOW DAWG STRIPING, launched a social media Facebook campaign – Operation Stripes for Veterans – that will offer one honorably discharged U.S. military Iraq or Afghanistan veteran the chance to become a small-business owner of a YELLOW DAWG STRIPING franchise. YELLOW DAWG STRIPING works with businesses to create lines and traffic markings to enhance safety, comply with laws and make parking lots more attractive.
“As a U.S. military veteran myself, I understand firsthand the hardships and challenges veterans can face as they transition into civilian life,†said Child, a former Army soldier and Air Force pilot. “We hope to relieve the burden of transition for at least one returning serviceman (or woman). It is the least we can do as a franchise system to show our troops the support they deserve.â€
The Facebook promotion allows eligible veterans to upload an essay of 250 words or less and/or video testimonial to the YELLOW DAWG STRIPING Facebook fan page explaining why they want to become a small-business owner. Each contestant is encouraged to share his or her video with friends and family on the social media platform to obtain as many ‘Like’ votes by May 20, 2011, Armed Forces Day. The top 10 videos with the most ‘Like’ votes will be reviewed and considered by a panel of seven judges, and the winner will be announced on Memorial Day, May 30, 2011.
Besides waiving the $7,500 franchise fee, YELLOW DAWG STRIPING will provide a customized enclosed equipment trailer worth $5,500, hands-on training, business support systems and miscellaneous tools and uniforms. The total retail value of the giveaway exceeds $28,000.

If you have been following my friend at Military Morons for awhile you will know he has a Skull with Horns designed by Pin Up artist Andrew Bawidamann as an unofficial logo. Recently, he worked with Mil-Spec Monkey to produce the logo as a PVC patch. The result is a really cool morale patch in a Glow-in-the-dark style as well as MultiCam and Desert versions. In addition to being really cool patches, MSM is donating $.50 for every one sold to our favorite charity, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Available from Mil-Spec Monkey or MSM patch dealers.
