Survivor Joe is an organization
that was started with the idea of giving something back to the men
and women of our Armed Forces that risk their lives on a day to
day basis. We wanted to send something that our troops could use,
but did not already have.
Survival Bracelets have been around for a long time. It has been
worn by military personnel as a symbol of deployment to the Middle
East and also by POW/MIA service members during national conflict.
Not only is it a symbol of deployment, but it is also a useful
survival tool.
A Lieutenant in the Navy deployed to Iraq as an Individual
Augmentee with an Army Civil Affairs Battalion in February 2009.
During his tour an Army Officer showed him how to make this same
survival bracelet which is very popular among Army Soldiers. They
make their own bracelets from parachute cord and then cut a button
off of their uniform to secure the end.
Returning home in November 2009, he explained to his mom the
significance and use of the bracelet as a survival tool that can
be applied in an emergency situation to save their life. Convinced
that every soldier in every branch of service could benefit from
having this tool, they started the organization to supply every
soldier with a Military Specification Grade bracelet, the
Survivor Joe Bracelet. |
