| KGTropicals $100 raffle | |

| Hi everyone ;D | |
| Most of you know that my 19 yr old son left a few weeks ago | |
| for boot camp at Parris Island to become a Marine. Of course, | |
| I'm the proudest mom on the face of the earth right now. I've | |
| taken up a few projects to help support 2nd Battalion Platoon | |
| 2081 and help bring some comfort for these future men that will | |
| soon be protecting our country. I went to King George Elementary | |
| School and spoke with my 5th graders language art teacher about | |
| sending 72 letters to the Platoon. She was thrilled to take this | |
| on and I can pick all these letters up on Wednesday! Yaaay. | |
| Next on my list is a bake sale that I am having in front of | |
| the fish store on October 11th during the Fall Festival. I've | |
| had such a wonderful response from my community to help with it. | |
| My goal is to raise enough money to send the entire platoon | |
| protein bars, another 15 bags of cough drops and moleskins to | |
| protect there feet during the crucible. | |
| My final project is holding a raffle to help with the the | |
| items I mentioned above, but also I hope to have enough to buy | |
| meals for the Marines who graduate that have no family attending | |
| for family day or graduation. I know of 11 in my son's platoon | |
| that will not have family or loved ones to celebrate with. This | |
| is how the raffle works- | |
| 1 ticket is $2 | |
| 3 tickets $5 | |
| Grand Prize is $100 KGTropicals gift certificate | |
| 2nd Prize $25 KGTropicals gift certificate | |
| 3rd Prize $10 KGTropicals gift certificate | |
| If anyone is interested in purchasing a ticket, please email | |
| [email protected]. Drawing will be on October 20th. | |

| Welcome to the military family. You might also look into | |
| military family support groups in your area to see if they are | |
| willing to help in any way. Personally, groups like that have | |
| been a great asset to my mother for support and camaraderie. | |
| They have also sent me numerous care packages throughout the | |
| years on various deployments. | |

| As Marines and Army guys say "Hoooah" welcome to the military | |
| family. I also just joined this forum and have been a subscriber | |
| to you tube for a while. I am a retired/ disabled army veteteran | |
| myself having served over 17 years active duty. Disabilities | |
| from different deployments from Vietnam to Enduring Freedom in | |
| 1991 made me quit active life before 20 years. I also worked and | |
| was self employed ( yes I know all about those schedule C's if | |
| that what your doing, as a computer consultant, web hosting and | |
| design myself for another 20 years. Always wanted a aquarium or | |
| two or three or more. But went from a 5 gallon and now up to a | |
| 40 gallon. No John no chilids for me as yet. Starting out slow, | |
| community planted tank in the 29 gallon ( which we are moving | |
| everything except the water to the 40 ( yes I watched the 101 | |
| series although I did know most of it already. It's been a year | |
| and a half so I research everything thanks for it all. | |
| Lisa and John great work you guys are doing particurlarly Lisa | |
| in the those young men who will soon ( 16 weeks) will become | |
| lean mean fighting machines. Stay proud you guys are as the | |
| marines say, the proud, the few and a marine | |
