I meant to post his here; but, I originally posted it in the Hunters Campfire forum. I tell you that in case a winner is drawn from that forum instead of this one, I don't want anybody thinking I was pulling a fast one. My bad. I am giving away two brand new pair of boots. These were issued to me by the Army before I retired a year and a half ago so I can't in good conscience sell them. If you need them or know someone "in need" who could use them put your name in the hat. If you are interested, let me know and try to specify which pair as one is a 10 1/2 and one is an 11. If you are like me and, depending on boot, may wear either size, if you don't designate and win, you will get whichever size I send to you. I plan to let this run for about 5 days or more. After that, I am going to take everyone's name who expressed an interest and then I'm going to use a random number generator to pick whomever the winners are. I only ask that the winners agree to pay the shipping cost.

Nice gesture.

Hey all, please don't pm your entry to me. If I end up picking your name and you haven't posted in the forum it looks like I wasn't fair to all.

THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE

Thanks for the kind words all.

I know I said I would probably keep this up for about five days; but, based on the current interest, I will probably be drawing tomorrow sometime. I don't think I am "shorting" anybody by doing so.

Thanks so much!!

Many thanks for your Army service. Welcome home, brother. Size 11's if possible.

O.K., I took the total number of entrants and assigned each a number. I put the total number into a random number generator and generated two numbers. The winners are leesway2 and gunzo. Gentlemen, please contact me with your shipping information. Once I ship, sometime this week, I will provide you with the shipping cost.

Well done!

To the winners, I just received a message from a member who wishes to remain anonymous. He sent the following to me, which has been edited to remove his identity per his wishes.

[quote=]Big Sky,
That was a generous offer giving away those new pair of boots.

If you are open to it, I'd like to pick up the tab for the shipping costs, to make this totally free to those receiving them.

I would do this totally anonymous, not looking for credit... just paying forward your good gesture.

Good move on your part...

cheers and best regards[/quote]

So, if the winners will contact me, the tab for shipping has been picked up by one of our regular and esteemed members.

Very cool all around!

Thank You for your Service!! God Bless America and our Troops!! This is what the Fire is all about!!
