I can't imagine what it's like to be 7000 miles from home, family and friends, wondering every minute whether you will ever see any of them again. I know you can.

The guys and gals over there are doing an incredible service to our country, and the world, even if it is not recognized either by our own people, or the rest of the world.
We have opinions on what they are doing. They have their lives on the line. Big difference.
God bless them, and keep them from harm.

Lotta flotsam comes across the internet, including the Fire. But it is more than balanced out by enterprises like Pat's initiative.
I was not smart enough to think of this, but it is no surprise that Pat was. Good on 'ya Pat.

I'm hoping my daughter will get some brown down Saturday....our rut is in slow motion. you may need a dolly for my box...damn sciatic nerve went nuts when I lifted it in the Burb, so I used a dolly at the office. UPS guy was giving me the evil eye.

I'm the committee chair for The Wounded Warrior/Veterans committee for SCI in the DC area. We also receive a lot of donations from NRA for the troops. We shipped about 600lbs. to a Army unit in Afghanistan that arrived prior to Christmas. We will be making another shipment in a few months. If someone has the address of a marine unit serving in Afghanistan please PM me. We ship either to the commanding officer or chaplin so that those most in need get priority. It is a great thing you & others on the Fire are doing for our troops. Since I'm in the DC area I see first hand the horrible damage done to our fighting men & women. We have a retired marine that visits Walter Reed almost every month giving magazines & other donations to the WWs. We also have taken a number of WWs on hunting trips. If anyone chooses to furnish the name, APO, & choice of magazine of deployed men & women I will process a NRA membership. May all of our men & women defending our country have a safe New Year.
Life Members SCI & NRA. NRA Instructor & RSO. What have YOU done to support hunting & gun rights?

dang I near missed this, I usually turn a blind eye to the sticky topics.
Kudos on you Pat, we have a local group here that does the same gig.
it's a wonderful time of year to be remembering our troops and letting them know by our actions they're not forgotten.
bless all you guys for participating.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Twice yesterday,Pat, your name came up in conversations in a most complimentary way. First with my son and then with Steve. You're good people,Pat. It's a pleasure to know you!
