Way cool spin, thanks for sharing! Have you been doing this by yourself? If so, you should give some thought to letting the forum know and taking up a collection next time - the BOTL here are ALWAYS down for a good "Cigars For Troops" cause.
Curious... why did you pick the unit you did? Someone close to you, is it your old unit, etc?

Sorry about the slow response...I lost track of this thread...I was given information from OpFTH (Operation From The Heart) out of Detroit...They do a quite a bit for sending sticks to various units...I asked for a unit that I could take on personally...There is no relation or previous relationship with any of the Marines from this unit (except, I am a former Marine)...Will probably attempt to take on another soon...The Sniper:Way cool spin, thanks for sharing!
