A Few Words About Veterans...

My Grandfather was Air Force. My Father was Coast Guard. I've got cousins who were Marines. And I went Navy.

In the 12 years I served, I worked with some of the most amazing, selfless, individuals I've ever met.

Unless you've been a member of the armed forces, it may be hard to truly understand the passion for service that is shared among these courageous men and women. 

There is a unifying theme that we all share... a belief in the greatness of our Nation and the Freedom's that are worth preserving.

Maybe the late great Ronald Reagan said it best: 

"Freedom is never more then one generation away from extinction."

It is America's military that prevents that extinction. It is our job as citizens to never take our military for granted. 

Today, and everyday, thank a Vet for his or her service and pray for those who are, right now, today, standing in harms way so that we can be Free.

Thank you,

Matson

One Day Only... Get Free Shipping, Help A Vet!

Veterans. 

Each year we celebrate their heroism. Their dedication. Their selfless defense of liberty. 

This year, on Veterans Day, we are doing what we can to say Thank You.

It's not much, but with your support, maybe it can make a difference.

Here is how it works... we will do FREE SHIPPING all day, Wednesday, November 11 -- Veteran's Day -- just like we did this last weekend.

However... a percentage of ALL ORDERS placed on Veteran's day will go to support an amazing Veteran's group called 4 Wheel to Heal. 

I had a chance to work with one of their vets on Xtreme Off Road and his story, his courage, truly touched me. It made any difficulty in my life seem trivial.

So, if you were planning on ordering this month, or even waiting for Black Friday, place your order on Veterans Day

And there is NO COUPON CODE TO ENTER, just place the order online and free shipping will be applied automatically! (Good for the lower 48 states only, and does not apply to Extended Corner Guards.)

God Bless the men and women who have served in America's Armed Forces. God Bless those who put themselves in front of danger so that our families are safe.

And God Bless you, my friend.

5-Bullet Friday - November 6, 2015

Here is your 5-Bullet Friday weekly fill-up. Wow, can you believe it's already been two months since we started this free dose of cool thing therapy?
  • FOR YOUR JEEP:  What's better for your Jeep then a weapon's mounting system? Rapto Worx has some of the best gear I've seen for readily mounting your easy access firearms. 
  • FOR A VET:  With Veteran's day just around the corner, do me a favor and find a way to honor the vets in your life, in your community, in your hometown. For me I am a big advocate of a couple groups including 4 Wheel to Heal - when you see a veteran who has lost both his legs, still looking at life with this amazing, positive outlook, it just makes any difficulty I've had seem so damn trivial. So please, take a moment and honor a Vet.
  • FOR THE DIY-ER:  I was buying so many paracord products (belts, lanyards, bracelets) that I decided I had better start making my own... so I bought this book. Maybe you'll see a line of "Matsonian's" Parawhatevers.
     
  • FOR THE SNOW:  Next Friday a couple guys from the shop and I are doing our annual Mini-Epic Hike. It is a 36 hour trip. Hike In to an area near the Rubicon Trail and Hike Out. In November. This year we expect there to be snow on the ground, so I may need a set of these.
     
  • FOR A GOOD LAUGH:  They call this a Jeep. Really. ;-)
Thank you for being a part of 5-Bullet Fridays! Let me know which bullet was your favorite or if you have anything you'd like me to check out. If you missed previous 5-Bullet Friday's, you can catch up here.

Remember, if you like 5-Bullet Fridays, please share.

See you on the rocks,
