November 13th, 2011Tactical Distributors Has Some Cool Stuff Going On
November 12th, 2011
This fleece TD beanie is one-size-fits-all. It features a front facing Velcro section with an M4 profile embroidered in the middle for placing morale patches, and a Velcro strip in the back, for an additional patch/nametag. Tactical Fanboy has a sand version and says it is quite comfortable. Also available in black.
Speaking of TD, they’re currently holding a special promotion for select Arc’teryx purchases. If you buy a Talos item, pant or shirt, you get a free pair of Arc’teryx Knee Caps in coyote. This is on a per-item basis as well, not just one per customer, so if you happen to purchase both a shirt and pant or two shirts and two pants, three of each, etc., you get an equivalent number of pairs of Knee Caps. If you’ve been holding out on getting a pair of Talos pants, now’s the perfect opportunity.

Smith Optics Elite Division Veterans Day Regards
November 11th, 2011Every Veteran’s Day I have the opportunity to see the faces of those fallen. They are sent from friends and colleagues so that their memory may be appreciated. I always sit and wonder who that person was and what they might have become had they not been taken so soon. The foremost question is why did they choose to fight. It has been my meager experience that this reason is rarely for freedom. Rather, freedom is the by-product of their action. The reasons vary as dramatically as the men and women who have served. The lined faces of our aging veterans stand in stark contrast to the fresh faces of those participating in our current conflicts. The common denominator for all of our generations is that they had a reason to pick up arms and fight. Today, I will give my appreciation to those reasons, whatever they may be, and cherish their by-product.
“I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the alter of Freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, Abraham Lincoln”
My personal thanks to those veterans on this day, those men and women of action,
Rick Elder
Executive Director Smith Optics Elite Division
