Months ago I submitted a true story to SureFire in hopes of being considered for the $100 prize award. Well, to date, I haven't received any prize but the story was published both on their web site (Backing our troops true stories) and on the last page of their Tactical Products catalog. I'm posting a copy of it for anyone interested.
SureFire Keeps Stealth Operation That Way
On a classified Special Ops assignment, my buddy was "point," leading his squad through a 36-inch, corrugated steel culvert under a road heavily traveled by the enemy. As he and his squad crawled through it, my friend, a highly trained and experienced commando, suddenly stopped, sensing something wrong. He turned on the low setting of the SureFire L1 LumaMax® I'd given him for his birthday just before the mission. There, not more than three feet in front of him, was a coiled, six-foot rattlesnake.
My pal had come within inches of planting his hand on the snake, and he and his squad were a long way from medical attention. He quickly dispatched the dangerous snake with his SureFire Delta Fixed knife, handling the situation without compromising the squad's position by firing shots. And thanks to the low setting on his two-stage L1, the enemy couldn't see any illumination from the culvert. He and his squad went on to successfully complete their mission.
As a retired member of a major metropolitan police SWAT team, I am totally sold on SureFire - and now so is my buddy. SureFire products are proven lifesavers.

I can only imagine having lunch with him!
