Memorial Day give away WINNER ON PG 4
« on: May 26, 2008, 10:17:00 PM »
I've decided that the best way to resolve the request of many of you that these be given to active members is to put all of you in the drawing THEN IF YOUR NAME IS DRAWN YOU CAN PICK THE INDIVIDUAL YOU BELIEVE DESERVES THE ARROWS. When I announce the winner of the drawing that person can tell me if they want them or who they want them sent to. How's that? Again if the winner wants these go to combat active I will add an additional item to the original winner and the arrows go to the individual of their choice.

(After much thought I have decided to handle this a bit different. Please add to your info if you have served in a combat situation regardless if you were up front or not. If when I draw I find the winner has served in a combat situation I will add an additional item. If not then the arrows go by themselves. What came to mind is that some have been on the knives edge but an edge won't cut without a strong back supporting it. When cutting you loose some of the blade in the material your cutting to me this stands for those who lost their lives. Some of the blade is removed when it is sharpened and to me these are those who served and came back home and are currently inactive. As some are removed more come to the front to take their place.   If you've already entered please update your info )
 
PLEASE DON'T THANK ME BECAUSE I'M THE ONE WHO HAS RECEIVED THE GREATER GIFT!  

I have a set of 3 Carbon Express arrows that are a limited edition. I will have a drawing next Sunday evening. To be eligible for this give away you need to be in or previously in the service. Give your name, branch, rank,   and if you served in a combat situation then your in the drawing. Thanks to all who serve and served from my 13 grand children, 5 kids, my wife, and me.
Shippings on me.

Galen, you humble me. What a great gesture. I hope an active member of our armed forces receives this gift. Do not put me in for drawing, thank you.

Gentleman I appreciate your desire to honor Active members but frankly I don't think any of you are not Active. Sure your not in the middle of it like you were but you still support and encourage those who are. To me your just as important as those who are currently Active. Your all in but to show you the honor you deserve I will try to locate an additional item for those not currently active.

Galen, I agree with what you are saying. Just my humble opinion that I stated that I hoped an active military person would win.
