NRA Life of Duty Helps Us Remember D-Day

Thursday, June 6th, 2013

NR-LOD-SM

June 6, 2013 marks the 69th anniversary of “Operation Overlord” – the D-Day invasion where more than 160,000 allied troops landed on a 50-mile stretch of French Coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France in 1944. The invasion led to the deaths of more than 9,000 allied forces, but the victory resulted in a significant turning point for Europe’s history. Today, we would like to honor the allied forces that participated in the invasion by sharing a film created by the U.S. Army in 1969. In this film, the drama and battle action of the landing at Normandy is portrayed along with the fierce combat that took place to overcome “Fortress Europe” (compliments of the National Archives).

Monday, June 3rd, 2013

We’ve been waiting to hear this name and are very happy to report that model Kelly Hall will be featured on the 2014 Hot Shots Calendar. 50% of proceeds from the sales of these calendars support various UK and US military charities including Help for Heroes and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. In addition, Hot Shots offers other morale items like T-shirts, playing cards, and badges. The models also donate their time by regularly visiting the troops.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly Hall during last year’s photo shoot and again at the 2013 calendar launch party. She is a very personable young lady and quite keen on her work in support of Help for Heroes. Although you wouldn’t know it unless you met her, her personality is her greatest feature. I hate to play favorites, but of all of the Hot Shots models I have met, Kelly Hall is my favorite.

Steel Flame has introduced these new MOLLE Bands. Made from copper, they take on a great patina and Derrick stamps various symbols into the MOLLE Band which fits a standard PALS bar. They are a little bit of a bear to get in place but once they’re there, they aren’t going anywhere.

In addition to what you see, Derrick shared that he plans to introduce Christian Crosses, Jewish Stars of David and Buddhist Wheels so that wearers can display their religious beliefs. He also mentioned working toward offering unit symbols as well. These are a great morale item whether military, LE or civilian.
