EVERY ONE PLEASE READ! YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!
Posted by 7474 on Monday, March 1, 2004 2:10 PM
Hi every one:
This is jonas frazier. I'm a PFC in the army reserves about to go active duty to germany. I was in the hobby shop yesterday chatting with the owner.
I want to ask all of you to help out my fellow soldiers in Iraq. WE can do this by donating our unwanted models to send over there. They can really use them as a method to relax. I hear that they even have their own modeling club there. My hobby shop is sending out a box of donations over there with paint, glue, sandpaper and other items for modeling. PLEASE DONATE ANY MODELS THAT YOU CAN SPARE. I'm donating at least 4 my self, including a brand new Revell Airbus A380. Do what you can to talk to your local hobby shop to do this. I feel this is a good way to show that we care about what they're doing there, and to give our thanks.
Especialy for all former members who have, and are wearing a uniform. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard. Help them out. I can not say it enough to express how strongly I feel about this cause. Rally and donate. thanks a ton. Email me at: spitpilot40@hotmail.com Thanks. I'll reply to all emails about this.

PFC Frazier,
This fine request has an outlet, the Baghdad Hobby Shop. Our club started sending kits to one of our members last October. Several other IPMS clubs have also sent kits and supplies and Hobbytown USA is an active supporter. You can check out the stories at my site and at http://www.ipmsusa.org/Features/Baghdad_Hobby_Club/Supporting_Troops.htm
The support has been very well received by the troops.
Good luck on your deployment to Germany.

Jonas I think it is really great that you are making people aware of this project. I will certainly contact my local IPMS chapter, and my LHS to take part in this. Thank you for the info, and your service to this country.

I have only recently returned to modelling, but I am planning to take a few models with me as I return to SWA. Any models that I do not finish will be left there as someone elses project. Probably the ones I do finish will be left there too.....
