In recent days we have seen and heard reports frrom IRAQ, that our troops lack armor, ammunition, and other battle equipment. Many also lack the basic necessities of living such as bathing water, toilet paper, floss, shampoo, etc. They have to rely on family members, many of whom are financially strapped, to supply walkie-talkies, night vision goggles, toiletries, food, and many other essentials. The military has imposed a "stop loss" order which is preventing the troops from leaving the war even though their enlistment period is over or they are eligible to retire. Morale has to be impacted for both the troops and their families when they hear that the war is likely to go on quite a bit longer.
Most of us are in a position to make at least a small difference. We can help either financially or at least by writing a thank you letter to these brave men and women.
Here is what I propose. "Adopt" a deployed military person(s). It is very easy to do. Go to www.OperationMilitaryPride.org and "SIGN-UP" on the left side of the page. Much information is also available at that link. For those who help in any way or intend to help, please respond to this topic and you will be entered in a contest which will have the following prizes:
1. 1995 Cycling $1 Commemorative PCGS MS69
2. 1988 $5 Gold Proof Olympic Raw but looks a cinch PR69
3. A starter collection of buffalo nickels
Winners will be determined from whoever comes closest to predicting the closing bid price of gold on 12-31-04 9 pm CST as listed by Kitco. Tie breaker if needed, is the closing price of silver at the same time. Entry deadline is 12-24-04 midnight CST. Please submit both gold and silver predictions.
Winners for the first three items will receive their prizes from me and will be shipped via USPS first class insured mail.
If others would like to add to the prize list and are willing to mail their prize(s) to the winners, please let me know via Private Message. I will add it to the prize list in the order received. This will very likely result in the "value" of the prizes being out of order but that will add to the fun of the contest. Thanks in advance for participating.
Winners please send a PM with your mailing address.
