What are the details?

What kind of AR? What is the price? Are you just going to collect until you get enough in donations, or is there a cutoff date?

Posted: 9/26/2004 5:03:15 PM EDT

[#2]

no cutoff date right now because we have no idea when he will be released from the hospital...............

right now i'm planning on a bushmaster M4 A2 for right under $XXX (cheap) but it really depends on the donations we get, we can always go up

or down

from there...........................

folks, thats very little money from very few members to make this a reality, i have no shame in begging for this cause............

edited because i don't want to piss on bushmaster posting dealer prices online, just know it will be my price and not a penny more.....................

Posted: 9/26/2004 5:04:36 PM EDT

[#3]

Will send at least *something* on payday.

Edited to add:
I'm not worried about the actual price. I know Tex will upgrade if he goes over target a little, and/or add some accessories. I know he's not one to make any profit on this. With checks and MO's being mailed, it might be hard to keep track of, but I'm sure he'd just forward that on to some other worthy individual if it went too far over. There are always others serving us who could use care packages, etc., and we've seen Tex organize that stuff too.

I cannot (currently) help out much, but I can give you a BTT.

I can also say that TexRdNec is a most profoundly generous and stand up guy that I would take a bullet for, and if he says something is gonna happen, that MEANS "Something IS Going To Happen".

Best wishes to SSG. Jongema again.

ok.
SSG JONGEMA is in DC. His wife and child are with him. unclear on what degree they have all got to communicate with him. his wife has talked to him in person. his mother is on the way about 0900(SEPT28) or shortly after to see him also. She will BE HAND CARRYING A PRINTOUT OF THIS THREAD, among other get-wells and thankyous befitting an N.C.O. in such a position.

SSG JONGEMA was told on SEPT 26 of the amount of people in the world who are pulling for him, and he shed a tear.

Being a very capable NCO, as well as my brother in law, as well as a brother in arms in the war on terror, 30 CAL has the utmost respect and concern for the 2nd gen. patriot. His father served most proudly and is one of the few people in my world back home who can relate to my experiences as a paratrooper. Jongema's father was a BADASS too.
SSG Jongema, Jarret is a man in the greatest sense of the word. When he graduated high school, he decided to persue a career in the Army instead of an art or computer career. Each time he re-enlisted he knew that his men depended on his leadership and training.

As I am a paratrooper, SSG Jongema is a LEG i would follow any anywhere.

GOD BLESS ALL ARFCOMMERS< AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

CH my $29 for the Ruger mags is on the way as you know, and you absolutely have my permission to send it over to Tex.
I'll try to dig up a few more.

Thanks for setting this up Tex! My little bit will go out in tomorrow morning's mail.
Do you need magazines? I can afford to part with a couple.
Hopefully enough cash will be collected to provide at least a case of ammo. Having a new rifle and no ammo for it is........UnAmerican!
