a GI's request

[trigger643]

The military, as most of you former men-at-arms, know, isn't 'consistant' about supplying the proper gear. (My brother, who was in the SEALs for 9 years manufactured most of his own team's web gear). My son and his unit are re-deploying for their 2nd tour in Iraq in June. He and his team of snipers will be attached to the 3/2 Stryker Brigade once again in Mosul, Iraq.

I am looking for donations, at their request, to properly equip my son and his 2 other sniper team mates with appropriate Black-Hawk gear to accomplish their mission, as my son and his mates will be hauling the communication gear, 1st aid gear and their sniping equipment. After reseach, they have concluded this bag is the best for their purpose. They need 3 of them. (Interestingly, this company was started by former Navy SEALs, seeing a need for proper equipment).

If you are uncomfortable giving cash donations, a gift certificate can be made to

"Bco (Blackhawk) 1/23 (Tomahawks) Infantry 2nd ID" this link:

Any amount is appreciated. Any excess amount received will be used towards "goodies" for the men of the 3/2 Stryker Brigade -- snacks, primarily, such as chips and jerky.

They deploy on June 28. I will be receiving and fowarding any contributions through the end of this month. Once the target amount of $1000.00 is received, I'll advise that it as been met and no other donations are necessary. However, should anyone feel inclined to send "goodies", I'll be more than happy to provide the AEO address for direct mailing.
