I was wondering if there were going to be any T-shirts for the rally.
I see some of the other rallies have shirts made.

It has been discussed. Dale has even offered to help out with them. So far, Amber and I have tried to keep everything relating to the event "no charge". We really like that everybody, regardless of budget, can stay and eat for free. I'm sure that if we did shirts, they would have to be sold at some price just to cover materials. I don't even know where to start with them. Bulk shirt purchase? Silk screening? Design? Pre-orders? Selling via this site? Shipping? etc etc...... I have enough trouble just getting the field mowed!!

Maybe during a dinner this year we can all throw in ideas and/or decide on a team of members to do shirts as a project.

 

[Amer-team]

Well they could bring their own shirts, I could bring the stencil machine, and we could have them hands on the rig and stencil them in place. that way they would be personalized.
Am I going to be excommunicated if I can't be there on Saturday. Another AAF event has reared its head and am still waiting on the particulars.
Also if any of you local guys want to do a 4th of July event, we will be doing a displya at Borst Park and a Parade in Centralia in the afternoon. Lunch will be provided.

 

[srodocker]

Im up for either idea about shirts.

For those interested, and have the money, there's an M920 for sale in Longview. Go to ebay military vehicles and see the listing. It's not mine, just passing the info along.

Hope to see a bunch of ya at the Oly Air Show this weekend.

 

[Wolfen]

You are not supposed to Mention Active Auctions.

 

[Hammer]

$ is too high on that one for me anyways.
Be nice to get one from that close though!

 

[Amer-team]

Come visit me in the infield at OFM. I will have the M38A1 our for this event and will be doing a Korea display.

My father in law is scheduled for major cardiac surgery that week. Hopefully everything goes as planned. If not, I may not be in attendance. Keep him in your prayers.

 

[Varyag]

Man Mike, I hope eveything goes well for your dad. I will deffinatly say that you will be missed at the rally if you can't make it.

 

[wsucougarx]

Hey thanks Matt. I'm confident everything will turn out the way it's suppose to. Hopefully it's something we're all expecting. Getting together with fellow SS is one of my highlights throughout the year. Fellow SS are amongst the most down to earth and helpful guys I know. It is definately comparable to the fellow Sailors and Marines I serve alongside.

 

[elkhunter]

He's in our prayers Mike. We hope everything goes ok for him. Walt and Phyllis

***************INFO REQUEST*****************

Hey guys, I'm getting some admin stuff taken care. Please check the Roster list over for correctness (post #2). Please make sure you PM me if you intend on bringing a guest and the the roster doesn't reflect so. It would be good to know to have an approximate headcount.

Also, there are many members with an UNKNOWN military status. It is our intent to again honor current and past members of the US Armed Forces. If your status is "?????" and you are currently serving or a veteran please let me know! I am making up convoy/parade assignment sheets for our windshields to signify our current/past Armed Forces members.
Parade/convoy assignment will be as follows (MILITARY VEHICLES ONLY):
1. AaronW (lead vehicle)
2. Active Duty
3. Active Reserve Component/National Guard
4. Veterans (past military service:active,reserve,ARNG/retirees)
5. All other MV's
6. Civy vehicles (convoy only)

It is only fitting to allow those members who served our Country be placed at the front of the column. It is only by their sacrifice and dedication that we have a free nation that we all enjoy today. Though words and action can never convey our full appreciation towards them, I believe this small act of respect is a step towards that.

Also, feel free to bring out and wear your uniforms for this occassion. You've earned it and encourage you to do so.

PNW SS Admin Officer
