CMH Britt Slabinski, a U.S. Navy SEAL with the rank Command Master Chief, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor on May 24, 2018 by President Donald Trump for his actions during the Battle of Takur Ghar in the mountains of Afghanistan. Slabinski is credited with rallying his teammates to rescue a stranded member of his team that had fallen from their helicopter after it was hit by enemy fire.
The unique distinguishing features of the commemorative MK25 pistol crafted by SIG Custom Works are:
MK25 Pistol: the MK25, a SIG SAUER P226, was carried by the U.S. Navy SEAL’s throughout the service of Command Master Chief Britt Slabinski. The slide of the commemorative pistol is finished with a high polish to indicate the ceremonial presentation of the pistol, and the frame is a matte black finish, the original standard issue finish, as a nod to the warrior. All pistol engraving is done in 24k gold;
Right Slide Engraving: the phrase “For Service As Set Forth,” which is the first line of the Congressional Medal of Honor Citation, and CMH Recipient Britt Slabinski;
Top Slide Engraving: a likeness of the Congressional Medal of Honor is engraved on a raised piece of metal recovered from the World Trade Center, and six stars representing the unit of CMH Britt Slabinski;
Left Side Engraving: the phrase “No Day Shall Erase You from the Memory of Time” displayed at the World Trade Center Memorial;
Pistol Grips: traditional presentation custom grips made of American Black Walnut. The right grip features the Red Unit Medallion, CMC Britt Slabiniski’s SEAL Team, and the left grip features the SEAL Trident.
Additionally, SIG SAUER is honored to release the video feature, “For Service As Set Forth: The Story of CMC Britt Slabinski, Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient,” to honor CMH Britt Slabinski’s service to our country. This is an in-depth look at CMH Britt Slabinski’s service, and the features of the commemorative MK25 pistol including interviews with CMH Britt “Slab” Slabinski, Retired CMC Steve “Mato” Matulewicz, Ron Cohen, President and CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc., Tim Butler of SIG Custom Works, and retired New York City Police Officer Frank Pinto.
On National Medal of Honor Day on March 25th, and every day, we honor those whom have served and sacrificed for the United States of America in the defense of freedom.

Also read about the Air Force operator that was posthumously awarded the MOH for the same action. TSgt John Chapman.

[@glennhynes5263]

Listen to his account of the battle of takur ghar, then watch the predator drone footage. Lies and a coverup. He is also, allegedly, disowned by st6 for his behavior in combat. That is all. May John Chapman rest in peace with God.

[@andymacdougal]

Nothing but RESPECT for Slab. May god bless him and his family.

[@300blk8]

It's just amazes me how time has a tendency to get away from us I just want to say to all the men and women that serve to protect our homeland and I know it doesn't mean much but from the bottom of my heart thank you carry on

[@sqwk2559]

Thanks so much to our troops. 🇺🇸👍🏻

[@kyledunn6853]

This is why I own one because of the relationship between it and the SEALS. I carry it in honor of them and those they lost in service to this nation. HOOYAH Slabinski. HOOYAH SIG. HOOYAH Frogmen.🇺🇸

[@mswoonc]

Kyle Dunn Fuck this guy and I don’t know if you’re in ODA but you know better.

[@Alamyst2011]

@@mswoonc Fuck this guy indeed. RIP Chapman

[@vitodiamico910]

Absolutely moving video tribute. Sig Sauer is the leader in class and honor.

[@lancevance3512]

But you left an Airman to die all by himself when you and the other Sailors ran away instead of helping him? Guess the “no man left behind” doesn’t apply with SEALs anymore or something. You don’t deserve the MOH. You showed no heroism.

[@Yog99504]

What an incredible video. It deeply humbles me to realize what incredible folks we are blessed to have defending our country. Thank you for what you do! God bless America. God bless our service members.

[@Alamyst2011]

This guy literally lied. He did nothing. He left the real hero, John Chapman to die. Chapman was wounded 17 times when Brittany called in Ac130 fire to Chapman's position. He abandoned his soldier.

[@stevensassano1357]

Sorry but most of that was not true. The real Hero was John Chapman Watch the drone camera that filmed the battle and it shows John doing everything including saving 23 Seals. Why did this guy have to lie. They left John behind and Britt said we left no one behind and when asked about John he did not have an answer. God Bless John Chapman who was awarded 2 medals of Honor posthumously.

[@11bravo1789]

He saved his SEAL team and then helped save the Ranger Quick reaction force. Not 23 SEAL’s. You are correct though. This guy abandoned John Chapman. And this guy is a damn Fraud.

[@moonootoo]

If you are part of the SF community you will know the truth about this fiasco. John Chapman was the real hero.

[@vitigaymer1053]

The Rangers and Air Force SOF were the heroes of the day. The SEALs basically made a mess which they abandoned for everyone else to clean up

[@davidcroteau4876]

Deeply humbling to know we have such men giving their lives to defend what it means to be an American, regardless of ones race, sex, or religious beliefs. CMC Slabinski and the men he served with are the best of examples of what our country has to offer.

[@fatbubba1964]

How can anybody thumbs down this video. To do that is such a outrage. Men and women putting their life on the line for our freedom. I salute ALL who have served in the US military!

[@benenglishtx]

Tim Howell - I think it's probably become some people have a knee-jerk reaction to the incorrectness of referring to "The Congressional Medal of Honor." See #5, here: www.history.com/news/the-medal-of-honor-6-surprising-facts

[@Torothebronxbull]

Dumbocrats...

[@DTG_LOCKETT]

Watch the video of him telling what happened during the battle that got him the medal then watch the video of what really happened. I'm not to judge if he deserved it are not but it might explain why this video would get some thumbs down

[@marioricardopergentinodasi7827]

Beautiful story.

Where Tenacity Prevails! An excellent tribute to America's best and one of many to be very proud of, "Command Master Chief (CMC) Slabinski.

[@MrBren10mm]

With all the bad going down in the World…I am glad for we have great men like Slab who give their all for us and their Country …

[@efank1789]

Im sorry but this guy is a piece of shit, Msgt John Chapman was left behind due to new footage released (Titled The First Medal of Honor Ever Recorded) He lied about Chapmans being dead and tried to dispute the footage of chapman stating that "The Airforce only wanted their first medal of honor since vietnam" he left chapman to fight for his life alone on that hill and then lied about it to cover his ass by leaving a fellow american behind.

[@katiapena8375]

If it wasn't for Air Force CCT John Chapman this guy would not be alive and he told the story how he charged the bunker when it was really Chapman who did this guy just lies and accepted the Medal of Honor

[@ntbroz7315]

And he got the MoH before Champman, smh. No disrespect to Slabinski, but its funny how these medals work in the military.

[@vitigaymer1053]

​@NT Broz the Navy basically awards MoH to cover up blunders. The SEALs were the Unit least deserving of an award on that Ridge that day. The Rangers, CCT and PJ's went above and beyond to capture Takur Ghar and recover Robert's and Chapman. The SEALs basically ran for their lives - abandoning teammates - when the firefight began. Then they get an MoH and hold Chapman's MoH ransom in the process.

[@ponyboy481]

Very touching that is why I own a sig mk25 and a m400

[@ytbobli]

The next gun I own, will be a SIG. Thank you!

[@ntbroz7315]

Did this video come out before or after the drone footage of the actual operation?

[@lisajordan8311]

The price of freedom is visible here.

[@flutterstone1281]

The comments here are brutal. It is clear that word has gotten out about the real story. “A recipient of the Medal of Honor is an uncomfortable place for me to be.” I bet it is getting increasingly uncomfortable for him.

[@angloamerica6448]

Interesting! When did they come out with the "Congressional" Medal of Honor? I am familiar with the Medal of Honor but am not familiar with the "Congressional" Medal of Honor.

[@steveb6103]

We need to cut a little slack on this one. The CEO is from Israel so he doesn't know that is not the Congressional Medal of Honor! Everyone else got it right.

[@DTG_LOCKETT]

It's the same thing. The Medal Of Honor is awarded by Congress

[@treomoe]

Hey I have a question, how are you on a page that is violating the flag code by brandishing the flag on a firearm? Thanks you for your service to protect and defend against foreign and domestic enemies.

[@alexhernandez6643]

It’s not illegal to have a flag on a firearm.

[@treomoe]

@@alexhernandez6643 didn’t say it was illegal. Where did you see that?

[@seanmcpart832]

Wow. Still no mention of Chappy. Watch all his videos where he speaks about Takur Ghar and he never thanks Chappy for his sacrifice nor does he mention his MOH. Watch other MOH recipients, and they thank everyone involved. They minimize their part. Why leave out Chappy…every single time?

[@justinitsthatguyme010]

You forgot war criminal

[@leogemini312]

This guy is a snake. Took the credit for doing something that video evidence showed he did not. John Chapman did everything this guy went around saying he did, and more

[@11bravo1789]

Where is the part about him Abandoning John Chapman & the body of Neil Roberts? That seems to be forgotten about. John Chapman deserved this CMOH. Not this guy. This guy committed a grave sin. He left his troop Behind.

[@didickcheeseburger]

chapman was unresponsive and presumed dead. slabinski wasnt abandoning the op. they were under heavy fire from all angles. they needed to relocate and assess the situation. roberts and chapman were considered dead and the safety of the remaining men needed to be considered. had someone with your mindset been team leader on that mountain youd have had your entire team wiped out trying to recover two dead bodies. be smart. you gotta secure the area first

[@82lowe36id]

Excellent video and we'll done to this hero. Well done to Sig on this MK25 as well. If you have this video a thumbs down, got are a scumbag.

[@mussolini1944]

No mention of Chapman? Or does bringing up both MOH recipients from this battle raise a few to many questions..

[@IrishPennant0311]

He and the others who died at Takur Ghar are mentioned at the end...

[@deltaecho1]

When looking at the entire picture from afar, nobody blames Slabinsky for what was happening. It was a bad situation all around. Chapman, Cunningham, and the army guys, they all deserved to be remembered and honored for what a hard battle that was.

[@JasonBournewrong]

Why would there be? The gun was made for Slab. Not for Chapman family. The video is about the gun. Not the battle. Nice try tho.

[@11bravo1789]

deltaecho1 bullshit nobody blames him. He flat left John for Dead. Never even checked his fucking Pulse. He Committed the most grave sin any troop can. He left his guy Behind. Read up on the battle. This guy should have been stripped of rank

[@ravenhawk6234]

Yuck! Taking the Credit of the Heroism of John Chapman.

[@rudrashakti108]

I was thinking the same thing. I don't get the sense that Britt is dishonorable. And he obviously didn't decide to give himself the medal. The evil admiral zymanski had made that decision, the same admiral that tried to stop Chapman from getting the one that he deserved, for 16 years. Slabs medal by contrast is obviously political. I still know what actually happened on that mountain. And it looks , from other videos that slab had made to the media, that slabinski is uncomfortable about something.
