    Default Any fellow Marines...

    I went for a ride today, and stopped at the USMC Memorial in Golden. Our flag is in crappy shape. Are there any other former Marines who would be interested in pitching in to their flag fund? If not, I'll replace the flag myself, but I thought it would be cool if we could make a contribution from the Former Marines of COAR-15. PM me if you can help.

    ETA: If we get $1000, we get a name plate on the kiosk. I know that's a lot, ...

    Semper Fi.



    ----------------------------------------–-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ETA: at the advice of th3w01f, I'm bringing the list of contributions from post #38 to this first post, so less people miss it. I'll delete post #38, and keep this post updated, at least daily.
    From post#38:


    Quite a few have been asking for updates on our total. I'll update this post daily to reflect current donations and a running total. If you are sending a contribution and there is not an amount next to your name, shoot me a PM with how much you plan to donate, so I can update the post.


    Also, when I started this thread, I was really only thinking that former Marines would jump on board. I couldn't have been more wrong. Contributors include current and prior service members from each branch of the military, family of military, and stand-up-patriotic citizens. The response really shows what this board is made of. Thank you.

    Deadline to contribute is Feb 9.

    I was a soldier, but my brother was commissioned in the Corps back in August. I'm in for a few bucks.

    Looks like there's gonna be interest from more members than just us former Jarheads. THANKS!

    I'll make the contribution in the name of our entire site, not just the former Marines here. (As long as it's ok with the mods). If we get $1000, we can have a name plate posted on the information kiosk.

    Can we make a deadline for contributions of Feb 9th?

    ETA: just to keep everyone's mind at ease, make checks payable to: U.S. Marine Corps Memorial Association. I'll collect checks, and submit them all at once.

    I'm in the ARMY but my brother was a Marine so I am always willing to throw in a few bucks. So let me know where to send the money.
