Support our troops

[MINIMAG4LIFE]

Recently a dear friend of mine was deployed to Kuwait. Before he enlisted, We both played paintball at least twice a month for at least 5 years. Since his millitary service, he hasnt had many chances to play paintball. Yet every time I speak to him on the phone, he constantly talks about paintball. You could say he eats, sleeps, and breathes paintball. As I'm sure many of you do. Did I mention he is a die hard Minimag shooter. To make this short, in his last letter he asked that I send him something to remind him of home. I got to thinking, and realized a small agd banner would be perfect. You know, something he could hang in his tent. I looked on agds' online store and did not see anything like this for sale. If AGD could help me out with this, I would gladly aprecciate it. Help me bring a little bit of home to one of our soldiers over seas.

Depending on his job, me might be on the move and unable to get a mailcall... however I highly support sending love to our ppls deployed everywhere... god knows how much I loved getting something other than bills in the mail during my year in korea.

USAF here,

Just wanted to say that it's good to see people who support our troops. Last night I was watching the news and a pilot was asked "What makes you different than an Iraqi soldier?"
Hes answer awed me...
He said, "The difference between me and and Iraqi soldier, is that I am willing to die for that soldiers freedom!" That hit home!

Amen and pass the hat!!

I support our troops! I'd be there if I wasn't a diabetic, I would have enlisted a long time ago.

Nice banner!! I hope you don't mind me using it. I hope all who goes to serve our country returns back home safely.

get him one of the posters that are in teh store. i imagine that might be a bit easier for him to manage than a banner.

waht do you think about getting the AO'ers to contribute to a care package to send to your friend and his fellow troops, or just troops in general.

got to make sure of the security issues first though with sending a package to the troops

[WARPED1]

I'm all for that!

I don't mind if you use it, feel free.


I just hope people support the troops and the country even after the war in Iraq is over.

I'll always support our troops, their bravery knows no bounds.

What about the request for a banner? Can anyone help out with that?

[Riotz]

Maybe AGD has a banner they can send him?

USAF here, too......

One thing about sending a Care package is that it must be sent to a specific person. US and military mail will not accept general donations.

Even if he is on the move...

He will eventually get the package. Many of my co-workers are over there (I would be too but I went on a deployment with our other airframe and missed the activation order for the A-10's) and they appreciate any tid-bits from home. No matter how long it takes to get there. I know the BX at Al Jaber used to carry APG for a while, so one of the other magazines could be a nice addition to the AGD banner. I have a copy of Xtreme Paintbrawl 4 I am willing to add to the box if he has a laptop at his disposal in his off time. A copy of In Your Face (the movie) could be a cool addition too.

My brother is being deployed next week probably and he is really excited to go (I guess sitting around and waiting for two months isn't as fun as it sounds). Anyway, I'm glad you guys are talking about doing something for the troops. A co-worker and I are talking about sending her beanie babies to troops with yellow ribbons tied around them. Anyway, let us know what you end up doing for your friend.
