Photos courtesy of Variety Depot in Lima, Ohio. Ohio’s number one military surplus store. Military surplus stores are a treasure trove for a prepper. These stores sell many goods used primarily by the military that they no longer need. The condition of such items can range from brand new to badly damaged. Shop owners buy these goods at auction and flip them for a profit, often providing them to the public at discount rates. Even though you are getting them for cheap, that doesn’t mean they built it at that level. Military goods are often over-engineered to ensure the user will get them to work in the most extreme situations. Here are some tips to make the most out of your trip to your local surplus store.

The story of a soldier who survived the war with a drug overdose.
In 1944 Finnish soldier Imo Koivonen detached from his unit and survived for weeks inside the Arctic Circle without food or shelter, on a dose of methamphetamine large enough for 30 men. Over the course of World War II, Finland repelled the Soviet invasion, allied itself with Germany against the Soviet Union and then fought with the Allies against Germany, the methamphetamine-fueled survival story of Private Imo Koivonen astonishingly embodies the chaos of World War II. During that war, the Finnish soldiers were fighting for four years, and during the war, a Finnish patrol found itself behind the enemy lines and surrounded by Soviet soldiers inside the Lapland region in northern Finland, which was covered with snow during that period of March 1944 AD, and when the shooting began on them, the soldiers began rushing from In order to get out of the line of fire, most of the soldiers fled on skis.

FATHER's DAY WAS THE BIGGEST HAUNT in and around our post-Vietnam and Philippine War-era household. Men had not yet returned from overseas military assignments to which they were drafted... forced to leave home and family, to defend oppressed populations somewhere on another side of the world. Some were held in P.O.W. Camps of Cambodia. Rambo and Swartzenegger were not coming to their rescue on or off film. Some were more distanced from their family's mental stress for worries at home and in-home in the absence of "dad" where mom had to struggle alone or under the glaring of taunting eyes and smirks because "mom ain't got her man or a man," and children waiting for an explanation of whether they had a father or not. Those who were not yet born when he left under orders of the government, could never claim to know who a father was. While family wrestled at home with whichever oppression befell them, "Dad" wrestled with the likes of Agent Orange and land mines. After the Korean War concluded some were further directed to the Philipines where so many endured the Death march... never making it back home until the happenstance of that nation relented and the fathers of America were let to come back home to what was left of family... if he survived.

My Roots in the Orchard (Forty-Eight hours before my flight) Some lives intersect at the same moment in time.

Due to COVID-19 lockdown constraints, D-Day ceremonies have been kept to a bare minimum for the previous two years. When D-Day veterans visit the Normandy beaches and other World War II sites, they are overcome with emotion. The joy of witnessing the French thanks and goodwill toward those who landed on June 6, 1944. They are filled with sadness as they remember their slain companions and the war in Ukraine, which is currently raging in Europe.
Forward
It’s not every day you are told you are being attached to a forward unit. For the guys in my platoon, you would have thought we had just won the lottery. Marines are funny that way, I guess. We were a weapons platoon at the time. Three rifleman, Lcpl Dodorice, Lcpl Wolf, Lcpl Bill. Six mortars, Lcpl black, Lcpl worth, Lcpl Scare, Lcpl Rob. Four anti tanks, Lcpl Quinn, Lcpl Mul, Lcpl Len, Pfc Trey. Our fearless leaders, Lieutenant Sir and Sergeant Silks. And of course, myself as acting machine gunner.
