Many of my soldiers purchased Garmin products from the PX in Ft. Riley, Kansas with their own hard-
earned money prior to our deployment, knowing that, in the desert, these products would possibly
come in handy. Turns out it was good preparation.
– Lt. R. M. P., Augusta, KS
Not only do I thank your company for making a product that my son liked so much, but I also thank
you for supplying the tool that very well may have saved his life.

My best friend and former teammate from the U.S. Marines has recently returned safely from Iraq.
Prior to departing the country, he and a couple of other operators in the unit decided to invest in your
Rino 120. I asked him how he liked the Rino and all he could say was “this is the best piece of equip-
ment that I should have been issued.” I know that the use of this GPS played a fundamental role of
the safe return of not only my friends, but of all 65 who deployed in the unit. I hope that your company
realizes what a profound impact this has had on so many levels; to the service members who risk
their lives, to the friends and family who sit and await a safe return.

I just returned from a 3-month tour in the Middle East, serving with the U.S. Marine Corps in Kuwait and
also in Iraq. I purchased your Garmin Rino 120 just before leaving on the advice of a friend. Your product
truly saved American lives and is an integral tool used in the war against terrorism.
– J.C., USMC
During an operation to capture weapons smugglers, we used Rinos to move between observation
posts, create cache points, and even record the coordinates of some foxholes that were found. The
Rino quickly became our communications equipment of choice while on foot since it was reliable,
updated the map on its own, and saved almost 30 pounds of gear.
– 1st Lt. E. M., “Ice” Platoon
