One bottle has been known to last a company four days when hunkered down and taking in-coming.

We sent them off with a warm handshake and "Thank You" card they'll carry back home to their headquarters.

Editors note: I might have miss-spelled "Comrades" but we didn't leave any doubt about our admiration or sincerity.
