Take your time
One of our favorite photos from our trip through the Nevada desert yesterday. We spent twenty minutes waiting just outside of Tonopah, while a resurfacing crew moved gravel around. Nothing like a line of cars in the middle of nowhere to make you really feel the love....
Road to Vegas
On the way to Vegas for the mini-reunion of our guys. Question, if there's nothing to look at, is it still closer than it appears in the mirror?
Road Trip Begins!

Sgt. Kregg Jorgenson
An Army Ranger before joining Apache Troop. He loved walking point and being out in front of the team. A strategy that backfired on March 25th, 1970. Kregg was walking point while a CBS News crew was filming their unit in the jungle. He was ambushed and shot in both...

Work on a movie never ends. That means weekend conference calls with our team. We like to make sure we dress up for those.
Patches
There were many different unofficial patches worn by soldiers during the Vietnam war. Here are just a few examples of patches worn by the "Blues". You'll notice two things. 1) Where we got the inspiration for our logo. 2) Supporting the local economy can lead to funny...
