TNVC and Mitch Rossell honor all Veteran’s at Garth Brooks 2016 Word Tour in Richmond, Virginia

November 14th, 2016


This past Friday night TNVC and Mitch Rossell honored all Vets at a Garth Brooks concert where Mitch is currently touring with Garth on his 2016 world tour in Richmond Virginia. Two special Vets, Chris Corbin (and his service dog Axe) along Tyler Grey accompanied Mitch on stage during his special Veteran Tribute Song, “A Soldiers Memoir”. Here is a special video segment of Mitch’s performance Friday night where there was not many dry eyes in the audience.

The concert was incredibly special honoring our Vets, meeting and talking with Garth and his lovely wife Trisha. Garth who is a true gentlemen in the business who made all of us feel like we were family along with his wife. They both also performed some very touching tribute songs, and the “USA” chants from thousands in attendance during the show was deafening! A night to remember for a long time. It’s was the least all of us can do to honor such incredible sacrifices each and everyone of our Veterans have given back to all of us. Rest assured we will never, ever forget.


For those wanting to purchase Mitch’s song “A Soldiers Memoir” on iTunes www.mitchrossell.com , 10% of net sales go to these select organizations. greenberetfoundation.org & warriordogfoundation.org


I want to personally thank Mitch Rossell, his Manager Josh Logan along with Garth and Trisha for making us all feel like family and honoring our heroes! Thank you from all of us, it was a night I will never forget.

He was able to leave his troubles on shore and gain his freedom back through nature.

Kickstarter – Last Flight Of The Vulcan

November 13th, 2016

As a kid the RAF Vulcan was my favorite bomber. Probably because of its huge batlike structure, but also because I got to check out the cockpit on quite a few occasions because my dad’s wing would deploy to RAF Waddington regularly and they’d send a Vulcan across to our annual airshow so he knew many of their maintainers.

Fans of the Vulcan know that the type made its last flight just over a year ago with airframe XH558. Artist Nick Harrison commemorates the event with this Kickstarter campaign. It’s a great looking print.

Tonight’s features is a short, an Army training film on the M-151A2 ‘Jeep’. The Jeep was just transitioning out of service as I entered the Army. It was a capable beast and great on narrow roads and trails, but it was prone to rollovers and not very safe.  Please enjoy the Army classic.

Kitbadger shows us how to reinforce the SureFire DG Switch for use with a Kydex Holster. As I’m sure you’re aware, it can get chewed up pretty badly from abrasion caused by the holster.
