Granger Smith – Helping Out A Homeless Vet

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016

Many SSD readers may be fans of country singer Granger Smith. He’s a very patriotic young man who documents his life on tour through episodes of ‘Yee Yee TV‘, posted to his website. Granger also raises money and awareness for military charities but this episode, dated as it is, shows him spending some time with a homeless Veteran he met on the road.

I really like how they played together and then Granger gave back with the gift of the boots. You can tell he’s having a good time and making a difference while doing it. Original Footwear sponsors Granger’s Boot Walk, an annual 100 mile walk from Austin to Fort Hood, Texas.  

Bawidamann – Dive Girl Apparel

Monday, November 21st, 2016

Back by popular demand, Bawidamann is offering pre-orders for the SFOD-A/SF DIVESHOOL VERSION/ CIVI Version.


Years ago, Andrew Bawidamann drew an awesome depiction of a young lady in dive equipment. The image was adopted by many Special Forces Dive Teams for wear on team t-shirts.

About once a year, Bawidamann opens them back up for order.

He will leave this Pre-order open from 11/18/16 to 1/18/17. Whether you want just one for yourself of 15 for your team, here is your chance.

Once the pre-order window is closed he will run the whole Job. He needs a minimum order of 15 to get a customized ODA ### type set under the Dive Bubble. Make your Team order and put your ODA# in the ORDER NOTES.

For the rest of us non ODA/SF DUDES, you can get the DIVE GIRL /CALICO JACK SHIRT/HOODY. It is printed at the same time on the same press as the SF stuff and is just as badass.

Note: THIS WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL 2.7.17. So Pretty Please don’t expect this for Christmas.

Trending On GoFundMe: Teenager Aspires To Interview All Living WWII Vets

Friday, November 11th, 2016

This being Veterans day, this recent release from GoFundMe seemed more than relevant.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., November 10, 2016 — Rishi Sharma, an 18-year-old from Agoura Hills, California, has started a GoFundMe campaign to help fund his dream to interview all living WWII veterans.

“My biggest heroes are the combat veterans of World War Two and I am on a mission to try and meet and in-depth film interview as many of these men before it is too late so that I can gain their knowledge and wisdom and also an appreciation for how good I have it,” said Sharma on his GoFundMe campaign page. “These men are my kindred spirits. I want them to know how grateful I am for they had to endure and I am trying to be an outlet for them to express their recollections and thoughts of their war days in a censor free environment.”

Sharma films the interviews and gives a DVD copy to the veterans. He is trying to do one interview a day and has deferred college to reach his goal.
