Today, because of the operation that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden, there is renewed interest in U.S. Navy SEALs, covert nighttime operations, and hi-tech military equipment and weaponry. But, as many of you know, “covert operations” are nothing new. On the cover of this catalog, you’ll see the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division on June 7, 1944, the day after the D-Day landing at Normandy. Like the Navy SEALs in May, 2011, these men came in from above on a nighttime descent behind enemy lines. You can find products covering them and other paratroopers beneath this letter and on page 34. Just a few years after World War II, a new type of covert warfare dominated – this time not in the sky but below the sea. On page 46, you’ll find outstanding coverage of Cold War submarines and secret espionage missions that U.S. subs carried out against the Soviet Union. Stalking the Red Bear, the true story of one such submarine, is even available at half price! And there’s more. From the Vietnam War’s “tunnel rats” (page 48) to fiction’s ultimate covert operator, James Bond (see $7.95 DVDs NEW! on page 60), all the great subjects are here, covering both “special” and “regular” forces who serve from the darkest depths of the sea to near the edge of space. The courage displayed by the Navy SEALs on May 1 is something that all Americans should be proud of, but people like you and I didn’t need it to renew our interest in the military. Our interest has always been there – it’s why we create Military Issue and why you have been so generous in supporting our efforts with your purchases.
