Resolution Gear

About The Owner:
On December 12th 2004, during Operation Phantom Fury, former U.S. Marine Sergeant Jason Arellano sustained multiple injuries from a grenade as well as a gunshot wound from an Ak47. Several surgeries and numerous prayers later, he has been blessed beyond belief by the support of family, friends, and even strangers. Miraculously he is doing very well and has been able to reach out to others and offer support, service, and a helping hand. Because of his military experience and seeing the dedication that goes into a life of service, he and his wife Lindsey have begun Resolution Gear as a means to give back to the military and law enforcement communities. One of the main goals with this business will be to serve those who serve us, give back to wounded warriors, and families that have lost loved ones. It is their hope to work with other organizations to raise money and awareness for families of wounded servicemen and women as well as partner with people and organizations to connect families with proper resources for counseling. This website provides links to specific organizations that may help with grief recovery, addictions, marital counseling, PTSD, benefits, and fundraising opportunities.

Sergeant Arellano's story is one of many captured in the documentary film Perfect Valor. Perfect Valor paints a vivid picture of urban warfare. Using high-definition footage, viewers get a never-before seen look at the experiences of American troops fighting in Iraq. The film weaves individual stories of courage, struggle, and triumph into the broad fabric of the war. These brave men and women answered the call to serve. They deserve to be honored, and their stories deserve to be told.

The film follows three Marines, a battalion surgeon and a Navy Chaplain through their compelling experiences in Iraq. Staff Sergeant Jeremiah Workman is awarded the Navy Cross for his courage under fire in the December, 2004 fight in Fallujah and then he returns home with psychological wounds as severe as any physical injury. Sergeant Jason Arellano leads his squad through the streets of Fallujah, bringing everyone home safely. Only a few blocks from Workman’s fight, Arellano is severely wounded, and nearly killed. We also tell the story of a Navy doctor and a female National Guard medic moving to the front lines of the Fallujah fight to save Marine lives and a Navy Chaplain struggling to save their souls.

Later in 2008, Corporal Richard “Ricky” Nelson would deploy to Iraq for his second tour with Fox Company. During Fox Company’s first deployment, five Marines paid the ultimate sacrifice. A stark reminder of the fragility of life. It was on this second deployment, that Corporal Richard “Ricky” Nelson at 23 years old, would be killed by a roadside bomb (Al Anbar, Iraq)... just one week prior to his first wedding anniversary.

David C. Taylor and Richard S. Lowry worked for nearly two years to bring this tribute to American service men and women to the screen in Perfect Valor. Together, they worked very hard to make a film that shows the American people the courage, dedication and determination of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. David and Richard have also shown the stoic sacrifices of their loved-ones waiting for their safe return.

Richard S. Lowry is the author of Marines in the Garden of Eden and The Gulf War Chronicles. The stories of true American heroes in Perfect Valor are pulled from the pages of Richard's next book, New Dawn, which he meticulously researched for years.
