As our retail and web business continues to grow and I'll keep my reminders here for you not to forget to check in our friends from BlackFive as they keep their pulse on our men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, their pro military pro veteran posts are a part of my daily fare and always spot on.  And when you're ready for a bit of humor see my great friend Damon as he continues to publish Delta Bravo Sierra Monday - Friday.

As always Devil Dog Brew and Sniper’s Brew will to continue to sound off as bully pulpits that proudly support the brave men and women that serve in the military and law enforcement communities.

We will continue to provide coffee to the Sniper Training Summits in Harvard Massachusetts with Crosshairs an organization that provides follow on Sniper Training for men going into combat. We also look forward to the next TogetherWeServed national reunion and will continue to attend Veterans’ celebrations throughout 2010.

Here’s a reminder that we officially adopted Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #9 in Maryland as Platinum Sponsors. We Salute Frank Borelli and the fine men and women that are a part of our law enforcement brotherhood.

As a Mustang, former Company Commander, and Battalion XO, I know what it means to stand with our military families and those in Harm’s Way. Among many of our family veterans,my grandfather Hank Sr. (also a mustang) was a WWII Marine on Guam and later Police Chief and our grandpa Rex was an Army Medic in the Second Wave on Normandy and recipient of 4 Bronze Stars. It is in no small part the history and proud tradition of my seniors that drives me.

JR and I want to thank you all for spreading the word, and know that you are a part of our success as we expand into the retail market place throughout 2010!

With Utmost Respect ~ Semper Fi, Hank
