| SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS |
Supporting our Troops
& supplies to Iraq May, 2005. Club members, Rich & Joy Sullivan (R&J Enterprises) were contacted from Iraq by SSgt Tim Kosak of the 103rd Armored Regiment, Pennsylvania National Guard, to order after market armor materials. Since our club was considering participation in the drive to send modelling supplies to the troops, the Sullivans asked Tim if his group would like to have some sent directly to the regiment. Tim was very enthusiastic in his affirmative reply so the club went to work selling some kits at a Make N Take event for cash and raiding our stashes to get some of the "good stuff" together to ship to Tim and his friends. Through the effort of MiniMania, a local hobby shop, everything was collected and boxed up for Shipment. The local newspaper heard about the club efforts and prepared a front page color article. Local people sent more than $200 to help with shipping and supplies...and it still keeps coming in. Tim reports that the models are really appreciated as there is no friendly place to go to relax during off duty time. He said the kits arrived in Iraq in M1A1's and are now converted to HUMVEES...Big difference. They have had some brought times and we hope that the stream of model kits will help them concentrate on these small trophies as a diversion. |
