Hey,
I made you a patch. I just saw something, and I thought of you... and I don't want it to be weird...I just wanted to be nice. (But not weird like a grown man giving another grown man a present.) It's okay, you're welcome.
It's funny because we're both Veterans. We both endured a lot of bullshit. But, hey, I got a weird sense of humor, I'm a sick puppy.
Do you understand what's so funny about this patch, though? Because at first glance you think it's just another veteran patch from some military operation, but then at second glance you read, "Operation enduring this bullshit", and now you're thinking this is outrageous!
Happy Friday,
Steven
P.S. Little River Band goes hard.

*We are pleased to announce that all proceeds from this patch will be donated to The Enrique S. Camarena Educational Foundation. The Foundation was founded to preserve and promote the sacrifices made by Special Agent “Kiki” Camarena as well as all law enforcement officers who have given their lives in fighting drug abuse. In addition, the foundation also established The Drug Abuse Education Scholarship Program in an effort to promote a discussion of drug-free lifestyles among our Nation’s youth.
There are not too many jobs out there that sound less appealing to me than working undercover assignments for the DEA infiltrating Mexican drug cartels. The risk/reward just isn't there for me. But that's why I do what I do and men like Enrique "Kiki" Camarena do what they do. Going toe-to-toe with some of the most dangerous cartels on the planet is no child's play. But doing it while wearing a wire is just a whole different beast, man.
The first launch letter I wrote was for our "Policia, Cabron" patch, and I told a story about that one time I was in Tijuana, the cartel, and a brick of bam-bam taped to the underside of a car. That was in 2019, and Tijuana is basically just San Diego but at a discounted price, and I was still sketched the fuck out about the whole incident. Kiki was handling business in 1985 Guadalajara with much more to concern himself with than one measly kilo. He was going after the whole damn industry.
Enrique "Kiki" Camarena was a true hero and his dedication to justice and the well-being of others will always be remembered. His bravery and selflessness knew no bounds, and may his legacy continue to inspire the future generations to come.
Hope you guys enjoy,
Steven

Ladies and Gentlemen, gather around and listen carefully, because I am about to spill the tea on the greatest military movie of all time! And you better believe that this is a highly debated topic, but let's face it, there can only be one winner!
The winner, drumroll please... is none other than the classic, "Stripes!"
Yes, you heard that right, Stripes! Starring the one and only Bill Murray and the hilarious Harold Ramis. This movie is the epitome of what a military movie should be: comedic, action-packed and filled with heart.
The storyline follows John Winger (played by Bill Murray), a down-on-his-luck, lazy man who joins the army as a last resort. The movie is filled with hilarious moments as John and his squad of misfits go through basic training, and hilarious hijinks ensue. The movie has everything from mistaken identities to mess hall food fights, and I guarantee you will be laughing from start to finish.
And let's not forget the iconic scene where John, in his army fatigues, starts a dance party in the middle of the street! That scene alone makes this movie the best military movie of all time.
Not to mention, the movie has a stellar cast, including the legendary John Candy, Warren Oates, and Sean Young. Each actor brings their own unique brand of humor to the film, making it a must-watch for anyone looking for a good laugh.
So, the next time you're in the mood for a movie about the military, forget about Saving Private Ryan and Full Metal Jacket, and reach for Stripes. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
In conclusion, Stripes is the best military movie of all time and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. So, grab some popcorn, put on your fatigues and let's get to laughing!
