Supporting Our Troops
We can think of no greater honor than to know that when the men and women of our nation's armed forces put their lives on the line, they choose SureFire flashlights to accompany them into battle. Here are their accounts of how SureFire's products fared in the face of danger.

I received a G2® Nitrolon® from my father before deploying to Iraq. He is a narcotics officer and swears by his. I mounted it on my M16 and carried it all over the Babil and Karbala provinces, using it every day.
Toward the end of my tour, while on a convoy, I was manning an M249 SAW on a gun truck. We were struck by an IED (improvised explosive device) and the vehicle flipped two and a half times, landing on its turret. The force of the blast and the rollover blew my M249 SAW from the turret, along with my M16, SureFire attached, as always.
I escaped with a few cuts and bruises. I quickly found my weapons (the SAW was toast) and proceeded to cordon off and search the area. I thought my G2 would be in the same shape as the SAW, but when I turned it on, it shined as bright as ever. I will never own another brand of flashlight. Thanks, SureFire.

P.S. I also work as a volunteer firefighter for my city. That same G2 is now mounted on my helmet.
