Subject: Fwd: SOG SOG Multitool survives IED  attack

My son is a United States Marine  serving our country in Afghanistan.  His Armored Humvee was hit by an IED  and the attack was detailed in a Fox News video entitled “Courage Under Fire”  as one of their cameramen was involved in rescuing his wounded Sergeant.   Attached is an email I received from him today relating the condition of  the vehicle and its’ equipment after the fire.  While his SOG Tiger Camo  Flash II was destroyed, his SOG multi-tool was the only thing in the vehicle  to survive.   Thank you for making such quality  products.

Dude,

I forgot  to tell you the story about the SOG.  The SOG   multi-tool that you got for me, was pretty much the only  thing to  survive the incident in my truck.  Literally everything  in the truck was  burnt, and melted.  Even things such as the  heavy duty .50 cal  tripod, rifles, etc., were completely  unrecognizable.  However the truck  frame, the actual .50 itself,  and the SOG multi-tool, were the only things  that survived.  The  .50 cal is obviously destroyed, and will never fire  again, but it kept  it’s shape, which was a big surprise.  But one of the  mechanics  later found my SOG on the floor of the truck.  Still works and   everything.  I thought that was pretty amazing, considering.   The  SOG knife, that I had was also found, although it was welded  to the  floor.  Goes to show you the quality of the product,  thought you would  get a kick out of it.
