USMCBillsFan Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 We're having a 10 mile march tomorrow which is a food drive for the young troops that can't afford a nice dinner. We march 5 miles and dump our 40 lbs of food from our packs and then jog the 5 miles back. Well anyway, I'm going into the commissary (grocery store on base) and what do I see? A throwback Sabres Perreoult (sp) jersey. Damn I miss hockey this year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much was it? 123505[/snapback] Not sure. He was heading to his car as I was pulling in. I about Rosened trying to get parked to catch up to him but I missed him. We need to go back to the old style uni's in hockey too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCBillsFan Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 BTW, thanks for helping the troops. 123513[/snapback] It's one thing I've always supported as much as I can. It's a shame to see young Marines with a wife and a few kids and they can't even afford to put a decent meal on the table for Thanksgiving. I buy a lot for Toys for Tots as well. Please support that program if you can. It's VERY appreciated by these young Marines and their families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upside: according to a recent briefing I saw, there are some serious changes being made to military pay and allowances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another reason why I'm republican. They pay the military much much better than the democrats do. Don't bash me all you democrats, there are other reasons too but it's not a political post.

We usually put put together a diner (minus the turkey) at the Church. The church buys the Turkeys and delivers them to the needy, a lot of which are the local young troops, in the Quantico area. Of course I don't run anymore so forget the 10 miler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
