This video is about Rob Robeson, a Marine who served over 40 years ago. As he says in the video, his main reason for making these himself is because when he went to the store to buy one for a friend, the only ones he could find were made in Taiwan. He didn't feel that was something to give a friend so he started making them himself.

Later that night, while I was thinking about the day's somber events, Cpl. Richard A. Mason, an infantryman with Headquarters Platoon, who, in the short time I was with the company became a good friend, told me, "You're still here, don't forget that. Tell your kids, your grandkids, what Sgt. Peralta did for you and the other Marines today."
