Gypsy,

Spoke with Mr. Falkel last night and he's floored by the response to this post.

He passed his thanks to everyone who's ordered and

thanks to those who are passing the word!

He's working on a Book on his son's life (The Making of Our Warrior) and will be donating a portion of the profits to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Chris' ODA is helping to write part of it and Steven Pressfield is editing and writing the Foreword. Because he wants to self-publish, the Warrior Foundation put him in touch with me and I'm helping him with the process. We drafted a book cover (front back and spine) and he's thrilled.

He said the process of writing this book has been very theraputic to the healing process...I am honored that he would let me help him with this project.

That is great news, Sir! Quite an honor for you as well, with the assist for the book. I shall look forward to reading it once completed...please keep us posted.

I had received an email from Mr. Falkel this morning to let me know my pen shipped so I wrote him back and mentioned he should join here if so inclined.

Just ordered one, and I'll pass this around to the rest of the company. RIP SSG Falkel.

I received one as a gift from one of Chris' teammates. I used it and kept it on me during my patrols in Afghanistan with 1st Bn, 3rd Group last year. Thank you, Mr. Falkel. Rest in peace, SSG Falkel.

Just ordered.

I just got mine. Thank you so very much Mr. Falkel. The book it's a great read so far. I have no son, but there are two teenage girls I'm mentoring, and the book inspires me to influence/raise them to be sheep dogs, and not sheepy damsel-in-distress.

I don't know how others manage to use the pen. It's just simply splendid, looks so good, and top-bottom color coordinated that I'll have to keep it in the case for a display of a warrior's legacy. Great job on the design, Sir.

I use mine every day....and make a point of setting the pen on the table while at meetings. It is a great way to spark discussion on the Falkel family's sacrifice and explain the origin of the pen. Most of the suits around here have no idea......
