CHRISTMAS IN OCTOBER?

Oh my gosh Gabe, you won't believe what I have for you and your guys over there.  Theres big patches and little patches, pokey brushes for pushing down the barrel of your weapons and soft scratchy brushes for all of the other places, and pipe cleany thingies... for all those places nothing else fits in.  Its like a soldier's Christmas!

 

The gifts are all compliments of two wonderful Vietnam Veterans William "Bill" Marsh and Dennis Schnell.  They are instructors for the Unit Armor Course on post. They heard you guys were having to cut your patches in half to conserve them so they dug these up to help out.  I cried when your dad called and told me what they had done, I literally sat there with the phone in my hands and cried.  I got to meet them this morning when I picked up the package and I almost started to cry again.   Even after serving their time they still serve their fellow soldiers through their instruction and things like this. I hope you get the opportunity to meet them in person, they are funny as heck and have some very cool stories from their own time in the Army.

So anyhow, I've got a few more things to pick up this afternoon before I get your box in the mail.  I've already got the butt-wipes for your weapon, theres two containers of those.  (I still need to get the butt-wipes for your butt). I haven't found that teflon stuff yet but I'll check at Specialty Sports here in a bit.  The box should go out this afternoon so we'll start counting from tomorrow.  Let me know how long it takes okay?

Miss you, Love you Always!
