Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all of our readers, and especially those who are away from home on this holiday.
I’m very proud to say that I was once part of an organization that sponsors events like this for its personnel and their families. Hats off to the Chaplaincy for making this happen.
Not only is it promting resiliency for the force and their dependents, but there’s also comraderie and a more effective and safe community.
I gotta say, as far as MREs go, the Jalapeño Cheese Spread is far superior to other, lesser dishes. Celebrate your love of the Jalapeño Cheese with this T-shirt from Inkfidel. Other Veterans will know, and give you a nod.

In the end, it’s just art. The point is what it celebrates.
This fourth print in Thirty Seconds Out’s combat concert series celebrates the the men who made it happen.
In Sean’s words:
We were/are soldiers, not politicians. We simply want to do what it takes to win. Win what? Fucking win our ground, our lives and the respect of those on our flanks. We get ridiculed and ridicule each other. As it should be, to get continually better. Shield to shield. Once you taste that, nothing really comes close. We were made for it, so we can hardly beat our chests and take credit. It comes natural, like it’s always been there. A motor drive turning inside on a low idle, waiting for a purpose. Music has an important part in all this, whether the artists like it or know it, we don’t give a fuck. We listen and get what we want from the song, burn the rest. The X’s on the hands are put there, in our previous lives, by the door guards when you’re not old enough to drink, but old enough for the mosh pit, old enough to sling lead for real. And we did.

Violent Little Machine Shop took Thin Blue Line morale patches to the next level, and created a Thin Blue Line patch for every one of the 50 states that make up the USA. Vermont? Check. Delaware? Absolutely. Hawaii? You bettcha! All US states, Alabama through Wyoming, are fully represented in this patch set in glorious PVC, Velcro-backed, either 3″ tall or 3″ wide. The initial order consisted of 7800 individual patches, so there’s plenty to go around.
To drive the point home, here’s SSD’s current state of headquarters: Virginia. You can get your state of residence direct from VLMS, or if you’re feeling particularly supportive you can buy a set consisting of all 50 patches. $50 of each set sold will be donated to The Fraternal Order of Police – Treasure Valley to help support the recovery of two local officers, one in critical condition, and a K9 that were shot in VLMS’ home state of Idaho on November 11th.
