Well I am going to put a little story behind this giveaway so you know everything about it. First the ones that donated the help with my youngest son Matts needs of oil are winners already and all you have to say is you want one.
I really have not told you guys but from my postings you should know my oldest son Gary is a Sniper with the 101St airborne and is assigned to my youngest son Matts National Guard unit in Afghanistan for what is called force protection.
Gary can read these postings but not post or reply so he is aware of what is on this web site. He can get on the internet when he is back at his F.O.B.
Gary will be home for 2 weeks in October and he promised me he would bring home some empty 50 cal. casings that he personally shot at the Taliban while in country. He said he would write down what he was doing and why he took a shot with that particular round and what date it was he took the shot. He said he will not tell of it it was a kill or not so its up to you to know or figure out. He said those are personal memories that need not be shared. So if your interested in this maybe morbid giveaway with history behind it let me know and I will make a posting for the giveaway when he gets home and let him pick the winners. If you do not want to have this giveaway please let me know.

Send my best wishes to both of them. I have a cousin that is in Baghdad right now.

Duce, this is a fine thing you and your boys are offering mate. Thank you.

Salute

For Gary....from an old Aussie Infantry SGT to another Infantryman (I believe that Airborne is of the Infantry ilk)....keep up the good work mate, keep the Taliban honest, but most importantly...keep yourself, and you brother Matt, safe mate. I hope you get the opportunity to do a little work with the Aussie SF soldiers...they are a damn fine bunch of guys.

Sniper

Cheers, Vince
