"Egg to Our Troops" - 4th of July UPDATE!!!!

Posts: 4,326
Hope everyone is having a great 4th of July weekend.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on our progress. We have received all donations, raising almost $1800!!!
In addition, we received an "anonymous" donation from a green Ceramic Grill manufacturer in Georgia that DOUBLED the Minimaxes we were attempting to donate for free!!!
All Eggs, charcoal, accessories, spices, and sauces are packed up and ready to deliver to FT Campbell. We are waiting on shipping connexes for the units to prep, pack, and ship to Afghanistan. Should be a few more weeks.
Until then, we have two families of Fallen US Troops that have received assistance. Waiting on response from two additional families that were passed along by a local group that they need some help. School clothes, grocery gift cards, some treats, and letters letting them know where donations came from and a Thank You for their ultimate sacrifice.
I got some pics back today of one Fallen Marine who's daughters are getting to spend the 4th with his brother and mom.
More to follow! Thanks to everyone who participated.
Special thanks to @RRP , Tom at the Ceramic Grill Store, @stlcharcoal @Possumtrot @The_Stache who all went above and beyond to help in this endeavor.

Thanks for ALL YOUR effort! I always like to help people when I can who deserve it and have not gotten in their prediciment due to merely being born in to poverty and not having the will power to rise up on their own.

It's not worth my time to explain it to you especially on this thread. This thread is dedicated to others so I'm tapping out to preserve its integrity.

Good! Sorry I pissed you off! I thought I had participated in the effort to collect whatever for this cause. Did you?

Way to turn a great thread into something all about you.

Your comment though came off like "I'm so far up this ladder looking so far down on you peasants".
No need to beat your chest.
Did I or didn't I , I don't care to be identified if I helped or not. That's between me, myself, and I (oh and the person that put this together ).
Let's drop this Ron, OK??? This is a good thread.

That's great news. The guys and gals at Fort Campbell have given much since 9/11/01 and that's been one of the more forward deployed posts in the country between the 101st and 5th Group. Very well deserved and much appreciated!=======================================
