I want to thank everyone that responded to my call for help by sending magazines to go to our Special Fighters. We now have enough for several months so hold on to the ones you have now but please keep collecting them.

Many responded but one of our members went above and beyond the call! RKS member Cory Kappler sent literally dozens of brand new, just off the rack magazines of every interest. But most amazingly he sent dozens of movies on DVD's! Everything from new releases to timeless classics were included.

I thank you Cory and I know our Special Fighters will thank you when those "hit country"!

BRAVO!!!

Good job Cory, Your the Man!!!! That's to Cool!!

See Ya, Chief

Some of our latest crew of Special Fighters!

Thank you for your service and for all you do. You are all very special.

I got an email today asking what we send.

In the past it's been a little bit of everything but the Special Fighters pictured above ask for personal hygiene products.

I bought what is pictured below today to send. It filled three regular sized flat rate boxes and one large flat rate box.

I could have bought large size items to save money but I understand that with absolutely NO privacy it's nice to have your own stuff. It's worth the extra $$.

Cost to the RKS Special Fighter fund? The toiletries cost $215. The DVD's and magazines donated by our members about $200.

The postage to get it all to the sandbox about $40 for a total of $455 for four boxes. The toiletries do cost more than snacks, etc. but they get what they ask for and need!

I hope everyone approves of how our money is being spent.

Tom, great job as usual, but may I make a humble suggestion?

In Vietnam, the VC and NVA could sniff us out by our cigarettes, our deodorant, and our soap. Crystal deodorant is fragrance and Paraben free, as well as having no damn Aluminum in it.

Tom, I will buy the deodorant next time...As long as it's Crystal. Maybe we can find a fragrance free soap also.

Thanks Dubie.
If you can recommend a source I will get it next time.
BTW, remember when you sent Sgt. Doug the leather food on his last deployment?
He has a new guy in his unit that has a Randall #1 that he says needs some love. If you could send his enough for one grip he would appreciate it. He will be in Georgia (defending against the Russians ) for a couple more weeks. I will send you his address if you can help.

Consider it done. I will send him some Ren wax, along with some good leather nourishing food.

Go ahead and put his address on the Forum, and maybe some good folks will send some goodies too.

He needs to be reminded to keep it dry and out of the sheath whenever possible. The Renwax won't slow it down when he decapitates a greasy El Qaeda member.

GOD BLESS OUR NEW WARRIORS!!!
