As of today I've got committments for about $300 for the magazines we want to send to Irish Bird Dog's son. Pictures of his son on this and his earlier deployments are on the other thread we started last week. We need pretty close to $400 to make this happen. If any of you who have not yet participated in this care to do so please send me a Private Message so I can add your contribution. If I get this covered by Thursday I can place the order Friday. I'll pay it out of my pocket to get these on the way and trust all of you to get the monies to me. My local smith has agreed to get these at cost and we will ship them to Jason's APO address.

| Along that line. If any funds were left over, I'd suggest we send to Bryce Corris Fund (maybe some Easter help for the children). |

Bear, We are still about $100 short of our goal if all who committed keep their pledge. I haven't heard back from everyone yet. If I missed sending my address to those who wish to contribute please PM me ASAP.

Just an update on the status of our M92 Magazines for soldiers project. I've received $215 so far. Just a shade over half of what we need. Please get any pledges or contributions in so we can get them ordered for shipment pronto. These guys will be needing them in just a few weeks.

come on, BSBs - if anyone can spare 10 or 20 dollars, let's get this movinig. here are some pix of irish bird dog's son and the boys that you will be helping out: at armory when they left WI in Feb, this is him & his soldiers.
labeled and at Ft Bliss TX
then SSG Jason Janecek in 32nd Military Polices Co, WI national guard 2003-2004 in downtown Baghdad on patrol duty
Photo from Feb 2004 Soldier of Fortune magazine, they went to rescue a patrol who were ambushed in downtown Baghdad and the 'chopper is a Medivac and he & his squad are containing a LZ for it to pick up wounded GI's But it could not land, area to small.
He was a gunner in '03-'04 as MP, note 1985 Humvee and NO shield around gun and it was a M240B......no .50's or .30's allowed cuz they were in the city of Baghdad....go figure....

FYI.....Tenative Deployment date for these guys is on or about 25 April......we will send mags to APO from vendor and they will receive them in-country. They will have range time to zero their weapons so will be able to test them before going on any missions. Thanks for posting the pics here Ron...people always like to see who they are supporting.......thanks to all of you others who are supporting this project......God bless you all for caring IBD ------------- Irish Bird Dog NRA Life/Endowment 2nd Amendment Supporter |

UPDATE 4/16/09. Contributions continue to arrive. We are now up to $265 with a few pledges still out. We'll need somewhere around $400 to make this happen for the whole squad. Please send pledges or PM me for my address if you intend to contribute and don't have my address yet.

Guys, I think we are there! I have 2 pledges out. One from someone who has generously offered the $ it takes to wrap this up. So right now there is $400 in the kitty. I'll place the order tomorrow.

OK, The magazines have arrived I'm packing for shipping today. I'll provide an accounting of the $ collected and expenses when I get done here. I'll place a general accounting here as I don't have permission to publish $ by $ donations from each member. I will, however, assemble that info and send it to Tas so there is some verification by an outside party. It's going to be pretty close to break even.

That's good news RD.....thanks again for running with this project. To all the other BaitShopBoyz who participated in this project....THANK YOU for your patriotic gesture towards our soldiers. Tas, thanks to you also for helping with getting the info out on the site and posting the pics for me. Update on where OUR soliders are now: They arrived in Kuwait about April 28 after a 22hr flight from Texas. Just the other day they flew into Iraq on Chinook 'choppers to Camp Bucca in southern/eastern Iraq. It is a large base with nearly 6000 troops stationed there. They will be stationed there for the next 10mths. The 3,200 WI guard soldiers have been assigned all over Irag as required by the commanding forces there. I will let you know when they get the package of magazines as soon as I hear from SFC Jason. IBD
