SEAL Commemorative Art Auction Results

February 12th, 2013

We received this report about the auction of the one-of-a-kind art created by artist Ellwood T. Risk from a target shot 79 times (once for each fallen NSW member since 9-11) on 9-11 of last year by my friend, SOCS Dave Hall, USN, Ret.

Master WW Plate Final

The art was auctioned for $17,500 last Saturday. It was a huge success with the Gold Star families, widows and children of our fallen, as well. They loved it and loved to touch the bullet hole that was shot for their loved one. We will be moving into the print sales phase shortly.

We’ll keep you posted.

Using a hybrid composite of Polyethylene, Nylon and Carbon Fiber Stays, XFrame Dynamic Load Carriage moves with the body. According to TYR, it utilizes the active hip to create a cross sectional load to the opposing muscular structure. This allows for dynamic movement of the body (twisting, turning, bending, and rotational movement of the hips). The XFrame stays free-float within cross channels in the carrier and have secure limiter straps that can be adjusted for maximum range of movement.

The XFrame Dynamic Load Carriage is compatible with all carriers in the PICO family.

Abuse It and You’ll Lose It

February 11th, 2013

Commenting on SSD articles is a privilege and not a right. I know some folks just can’t control themselves and have a little voice in their head that tells them to create an anonymous log in and say crazy stuff. However, most of us are sane adults. I’d like to keep it that way. As of late posting has once again gotten way out of hand. My rule of thumb is to not say anything in the comments section of SSD that you wouldn’t be willing to say in person. And, I’m seeing comments made and when the poster is questioned they don’t come back and justify their position. We welcome spirited debate, so long as it’s backed up by reason. This isn’t a forum for drivebys.

Self police or we will end up revamping the comments section which means requiring everyone to register and use valid email addresses.
