Gentlemen, your thoughts if you will.

in General Discussion
As some of you know I initiated a pass for my 1K posting. The idea behind the pass was to raise a fair amount of smokage to be sent to the DCCC. After no reply to a PM sent nearly two months ago, and yes I understand that not everyone lurks the Forum 24/7, I have come to my Brethren to ask their opinions.
Considering the fact that we have a few BoTL overseas, I have contemplated splitting the resultant bounty of my pass(60 sticks)and sending 30 sticks to each of them to be passed out at the FOB's that they travel to. If anyone has an objection to this, please feel free to post or contact me through PM. I want these sticks to go to our Brothers and Sisters who are valiantly risking their lives in order to protect our rights and freedoms.
What say ye, Brothers and Sisters?

    Boyd is sending Ryan an email in regards to the situation, so hopefully it will get straightened out. I'm quite certain that Ryan has his hands full with new twins.
    On the other hand, deej has given me a great idea for my next pass. At some time in the near future I plan to initiate a pass to collect smokes which will be donated to our less fortunate soldiers here in the States. I'm awaiting a reply from Shane requesting that he be the liaison for this venture.
    What say you, Brethren? Let's show our troops, both deployed and Stateside, how much we appreciate them.

    Many thanks, Brett. I figured it's the least I can do since I'm no longer able to serve my country in the forces.

    Ok, I'm back again. I know it's only been a couple of days since I started this thread but I've come to a conclusion. The sticks I have for my DCCC post have been sitting for two months and I really want to get them to the troops, so I'll be contacting RCY about them. If he's unable to do anything at present then I'll get in touch with James or Steve since they are deployed and have access to some FOB's in the Big Sandy.
    On a different note, BigShizza sent an awesome selection of sticks to be distributed to our soldiers who are stateside and somewhat down on their luck. Jim, you are a true BoTL in your contribution to the cause! I've decided to go ahead with a pass to help fulfill some much needed morale for our soldiers. Anyone interested can contact me via PM and we'll get this pass rolling.
    Thanks for your interest and willingness to help.

    We're doing a fundraiser this weekend, I'll ask if they are opposed to cigars. The charity is all about care packages, that's what they do. If not, I know a couple other wounded vets that are very active. It wouldn't be hard to aquire a target.

    Since Jiunn insists, I just posted a new pass thread in TPB for those who are interested.
