Default Memorial day special! What a deal!

It is memorial Day!


Let us remember those who stood or who are standing on the wall so we can sleep.

In honor of those who stand there today, Cathy and I are matching tickets for the SRT Lottery. Buy one for yourself, we buy one for a soldier.

And if you know of someone in the military in theater or who has been in theater in Iraq or Afghanistan, let us know so we can assign one to them.

We need names.

So this doubles the cause. Childrens Hospital gets a donation, twice. And some lucky soldier may come home to a great car.

Oops - too fast on the mouse...

I'd like to nominate Bradley Osborne, U. S. Army (my future daughter-in-law's brother) proudly serving in Iraq with a military intelligence unit. Local boy - parents live here in the Belleville, IL area.

Thanks again

Kevin

Franc, I just want to put this out there. In the sad event if there isn't enough tickets sold (150) to pull this off please keep my $100 and donate it to the Childrens Hospital anyway. Thanks, Larry

Thanks Larry but we will do this if I have to buy half the tickets.

We only have to sell 200 tickets to pull it off.
Between matches for the military and tickets I have bought for myself or sold to friends, we only need 155 from the rest of you.

How hard can that be?

Come on guys, take the chance.

Or are you NA folks scar't of owning a real sports car?

Franc,
I can't afford to get a ticket myself, but if you need a soldier, I will nominate my brother-in-law. He is just back from his third tour in Iraq with Army SF. He is also quite the car guy. He would be thrilled to know his name was in the hat. Thanks.

PS This is a wonderful thing you are doing.

Franc,

I know I owe you some money. I will get that to you this week sometime and let you know about who I'd like to reserve the other ticket for. Thanks a ton.
