I just got home from Comic Con and need to do an update post, but I saw this on Facebook and it was too neat not to share. Full disclosure, I’m a fan of RMJ Tactical, they read my books, and I have one of their tomahawks. http://www.rmjtactical.com/
This was the post I saw on Facebook:
A few years ago (like 3) I have Ryan at RMJ Tactical the chunk of mortar shrapnel that the doctors took from my brother Uriah’s leg after he was hit in Afghanistan to make something awesome with. Ryan completed it last night. He hadn’t worked on it because he was terrified of messing it up. Behold…

Here is the vet in question with the piece of shrapnel. I know his brother, but I left their last name off for privacy. That is super bad ass.
That’s a huge piece of shrapnel. Its bigger than the fragments from the warheads we use to shoot down airplanes.
Awesome doesn’t even begin to describe this story!
That’s seriously cool as hell.
Bad ass
Well done, sir! WELL DONE!
Very Cool!
Wow
Okay, that is awesome. Thanks for showing it to us!
Fantastic!!! This vet is a stand up guy and I can’t think of a better person to honor like this. Great job!!!!
Well done, excellent work
Awesome!
Those guys are awesome for doing this. And what a nice job!
My grandpa walked around with that shit in him until he was 95, from WW1. Its an evil thing, and making art out of it is the perfect way to give it the finger. Fuck you, shrapnel.
That is pretty darn cool.
What does not kill you makes you stronger.
Beautiful job.
Semper Fi
I am about as nonreligious as it gets, but that is both seriously cool AND badass. Psalm 144:1 indeed
