Those are SWEET.

Good stuff, all the best to the guys out there.

Oh, the one that says BDS is mine I paid for just to play with and get the guy some money for the other 3 that are going to iraq.
Here is the latest and the greatest news.
I now have a Army Major in Iraq at the Corp. Aviation Unit in Baghdad, Iraq who co-ordinates shippmenys in Iraq in C-130's. If I can get them in country he can move them.

I have my County Supervisor and Congressman contacting the local Army and Marine Bases and Pentagon to get them over there.

I got 2 calls last night from Bill in Texas and the other from a guy in Carolina who's dad I think is a Senator and in an email this morning had forwarded all my info to his "Washington Connection".

I saw President Bush's Marine Helocopter with escorts over my house at the same time the smokers were being drpped off so maybe he was checking on the movement of the smokers.

Sending these big things are too hard so I will continue to collect money and send those lil bullet/R2D2 looking smokers fill with all the gear a soldier would need. Smokers are about $50, shipping $25 w/insurance and I will add thremometers and gloves and stuff. So for each $100 some soldier over there will get a smoker from us here Safe and Sound here in America.

peace

very cool !

After watching War of the Worlds tonight, thinking about America kicking ass rules.

This story is in a North Carolina Newspaper I did an interview with last night.

Man the smokers are finally on the move to Iraq!
Took them to my local VFW last night and have made "arrangements" to get them over. Kind of funny how somethings need to be worded and listed and labled to get through under the radar so to speak. So I can't thank the folks that will be the middlemen getting them in country [small c for their country. lol]

My wife and I recieved an award from the bbq community for our efforts. Too cool.

Please read up on the whole thing by checking my lil blog thingy I made.

But the story is not over because I am still buying and shipping the small smokers to other troops and have two more to buy and send at least.

Have a great day and support the troops in your own groovy way
Thanks
