I'll be sending him some cigars when he goes. I'm wondering though, is there more than one USMC base in Afghanistan? If so, which one will these donations go to?

    If Steven's going to be in the camp we're donating to that'd be real cool and I could let him know so he can take advantage of it when he's there on his tour.

    Added info to the first post regarding the club. We have a kind of point person over there who is getting us all of the info. I'll update with more as I get it.


    Edit: Added camp info to first post.

    This is awesome so far guys. This site, and I shouldn't be surprised, is simply blowing me away. Things like this are why this is my home board. The generosity and the caliber of the people here is incredible to me. We are going to make some fighting men and women very happy.

    All done and sent. Sorry Sarge. I am sure someone will set something up again in the future though. Thanks for your service.

    Alright anyone who still wants to send a donation. We are looking at getting this thing ready to go this weekend so please get money out before then or at the very least send me a notification about how much you are pledging to this. Thank you guys again so much for helping out. Myself and my friend asked about this at work and I have to say the guys here have thus far kicked the crap out of the guys at work. It is awesome, and slightly disappointing at the same time, that guys on a website that only know me through forum posts really would band together behind this idea more so than people I have known for years. Once again you guys are amazing.
