This is the Wikipedia link for the PJs. Please take a few moments to learn about our nation's top military rescue service.

This is the Wikipedia link to Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape programs. I've worked with several military combat SERE entities on combat survival knives.

Tom is the world's top selling military author and historian and I'm honored that he's commissioned my work over the years.
