May is "Older Americans Month"

Did you know that over one in every eight, or 13.1%, of the population is an older American? The older population (65+) reached 40.4 million in 2010, an increase of 5.4 million or 15.3% since 2000.
 

In 1963, Older Americans Month was established.  Roughly a third of older Americans lived in poverty and there were few programs to meet their needs. Interest in older Americans and their concerns were growing, however. In April of 1963, President John F. Kennedy's meeting with the National Council of Senior Citizens served as a prelude to designating May as "Senior Citizens Month."

Thanks to President Jimmy Carter's 1980 designation, what was once called Senior Citizens Month, is now called "Older Americans Month," and has become a tradition.

Historically, Older Americans Month has been a time to acknowledge the contributions of past and current older persons to our country, in particular those who defended our country. Every President since JFK has issued a formal proclamation during or before the month of May asking that the entire nation pay tribute in some way to older persons in their communities. Older Americans Month is celebrated across the country through ceremonies, events, fairs and other activities.

Raine Inc. would like to highlight the Security Travel Pouch in honor of Older Americans Month. #067P – Security Travel Pouch.  http://raineinc.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1523

This pouch offers a great idea for seniors that do a lot of traveling.  It is a secure option for keeping the passport, photo I.D. , boarding pass, travelers checks and etc.  that can all be held in one convenient pouch and is worn around the neck.

Who Uses Maps Anymore?

Times have changed over the years. Believe it or not, soldiers actually used paper maps in the field. Raine Inc. produced (and still does) the finest map cases in the world. They varied in different sizes and shapes to fit the mission. The Individual map case is the smallest 7”x9”. The Squad map case has a larger 15”x14” viewing area and can be folded neatly in a zippered binder that fits the BDU Cargo pocket. The Rolled map case has a much larger 16”x44” viewing area. The Jumbo case speaks for itself. Of course Raine produces the Map Bag that dates back to the 18th century. 

Maps are being replaced by GPS devices. Raine has been on the forefront of creating innovative GPS cases for the field. Information cases (i.e. IPad, Iphone, smart phones, I-whatever) are the wave of the modern Army and Raine is on it. Please click here http://raineinc.com/catalog/index.php to find out more info. in our Product Catalog about  Map Cases, GPS cases and Smart Phone Cases. 

Keep in mind, when batteries run out, paper always works.  And, we would love to hear about your map stories.

It's a Dog's Life

This is Charlie, Raine’s mascot. He loves coming to work with John, Raine’s President, and hanging out with all of us.   When John is out of the office, Charlie’s favorite hobby is to nap on my lap/desk.  Even the ringing of the telephone will not disturb him.  He just snuggles up in the blanket and sleeps, while I am on the phone or working on the computer.  Now when he hears the front door open – that is another story!  He jumps up to see if it is John coming back in.  If it is, down he goes and back to John’s office for some more attention and maybe another nap.

Raine Inc. does not manufacture any dog or pet related products, but we do offer a wide variety of products for their owners. For a complete list of Raine’s products, go to http://raineinc.com.  Be sure to also check out our Closeout section for some great deals!

April Special Operation Conference

On April 25-26, Raine Inc. will be represented in El Paso, TX for the SOG/MWR show.  This event is primarily for special operators from law enforcement agencies in the southwest part of the country.

It is one day of exhibiting products on Ft. Bliss and a second day showing product at the shooting range on Camp MacGregor.  There is a high number of attendees from the border patrol, and we have a new flashlight holster for them to see.  While we’re there, we  will also spend some time visiting the stores on Ft. Bliss.  If that was all we could do on the trip, it would be worthwhile just to be able to personally tell them “Thank you” for the business they send us.
