Every Little Bit Helps
By Lt Col P
I linked below to our favorite beefy Afrikaner's selfless effort to get much-needed gear to some Cav troopers he and his wife adopted. If you follow that thread and its comments, you'll see some nifty ideas as well as real altruism at work.
Now, because Op-For is a purple blog, I'm not sure we can hail one effort and eschew others in all good conscience. So, let me point you toward John Farnam's Quips, where has posted (more than once) the same basic idea, this time supporting a Marine Wing Support Squadron in Iraq.
Some of you might ask why Marines and soldiers seem to need the same things over and over, such as nomex gloves, magazine pouches and the like. The reason is that these things wear out, and replacements aren't always forthcoming.
Every little bit helps. Believe me, they appreciate it.
PS... We'd be happy to draw attention to other efforts for Navy and Air Force units too.
