i'd like to get a collection going to buy SSG. Jongema (wounded in action, baghdad car bomb, currently in Walter Reed recovering from face and chest schrapnel and broken left leg, "seriously ill but stable" condition) (Thread about SSGT Jongema) an AR
i am a dealer and SSG. Jongema is local for me as soon as he is released from Walter Reed to go back home.................i will buy the rifle and cover sales tax for the transfer. all i need is donations to make the rifle purchase a reality please IM me for details on paypal, otherwise my mailing address is: Stix Guns P.O. Box 219 Sinton, TX 78387 THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP!!!!!!!! and THANK YOU to ALL currently serving our great country! edited to add link to thread! |
|
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? |
|
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..................... |
|
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. Jim |
|
most certainly, just send to the provided address and THANK YOU!!! |
|
|
Will be mailed tomorrow. |

|
Alright, I'm in. I'll send out a check.
ETA - Who do we make the check out to? |
|
stix guns will be fine steve.................. also, though i've got no confirmation yet, i HAVE GOT to go for the night and i entrusted my paypal addy with TC6969. i've got no confirmation from him that it's ok to refer you to him but im hoping i know him well enough to do it thanks TC and thanks to anybody that helps in any way!!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
I will pull $20 out of my Serbu benifit sale and send it your way! I dont think anyone that purchased mags from me for the cause would mind a small donation to help out yours.
On the way, CH |
|
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. |
|
|
I ferget, which one of us is the redheaded step-child that people ignore? |
|
|
I see it, you red-headed step-child.... |
|
|
Crap! I thought Tex was him! Off to bed I run! |

|

|
|
shameless BTT.................................this soldier is at Walter Reed.................................least we can do is buy him a rifle...................................
|
|
I wish I could contribute. I'm currently broke. I would like to at least pass on my heart-felt thanks for his service and sacrifice.
I hope that's cool. |
|
Never trust The Man Tex |

ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=277102 |
|
i have no idea how much money has been sent in any other form besides paypal, but using paypal only we're currently at 12% of needed funds................ |
|
|
Thats cool, I can not contribute however. I think this is a good thing but I will not do it for reasons I will not go into on here but I do think this is a great thing you are doing. I wish this could be done for all of them.
|
|
every little bit helps and is very much so appreciated!!!!!!! |
|
|
Paypal sent. What a great cause TexRdnec, you are a fine person for doing this!!
|
|
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! |
|
Funds sent via Pay Pal Tex.
I know SSGT Jongema also needs a lot prayers right now. Please keep us updated on his condition. |
|
we are currently at 20% of needed funds with 4 known checks inbound for unknown amounts.........i'd like to thank all that have donated money for this so far
