At Ranger Training Brigade's command is an American Hero and Combat Veteran of extraordinary experience and talent...CSM Mike Kelso.
CSM Kelso has been a consummate Professional Soldier for over 24 years and has "been there and done that" all over the world. He was also instrumental in American Tomahawk's inclusion to the Best Ranger Competition as a Corporate Sponsor and the Competition's very first Event Provider from the private sector.
Among the myriad of symbols at his disposal to create his first Military Coin, CSM Kelso chose unbeknownst to us, American Tomahawk's Rogers' Rangers Spike Tomahawk.
"Coining" is a relatively new tradition in the U.S. Armed Services, though its roots can be traced to the Roman Empire.
Typically, the Coins that bear a unit crest are given out by Commanders and Sergeants Major to recognize outstanding acts of service performed by Soldiers in the course of duty.
We do not know of any other company in the cutlery industry that has been bestowed such an honor.
To CSM Kelso and the Ranger Training Brigade, we offer our most sincere gratitude and thanks.
