Bama Red Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Got my "thank you" letter from your Post Commander yesterday, UB. A very nice letter, and I will frame it and hang it in an appropriate space in the man cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well it's about 98% done.STill missing some states but I was going to take it to the VFW meeting tonight. But they postponed it because some guys are going to the Caucus (which I thought was a mountain range). So the grand unveiling will be at the next meeting. I'll keep adding soil as it comes in. Just for you contributors, I'll get some pics today and post them for y'all so you'll be the first to see it. My sincere thanks again to those who have been so kind as to support this little project.

Bama Red Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 UB, it may be a "little project" in size, but nothing small about it in either heart or dedication. Thanks again for all your efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama Red Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Dang, Bob! That's just absolutely gorgeous! Very nice workmanship, great planning to tie everything together, including the protective covers, etc. I'm proud to have just a small part in it.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 This current mode is the WWII/Korea one. We can change it to Vietnam, Desert Storm, OIF, or Afghanistan with a swap out of rifle and helmet (still acquiring proper boots). Actually we could even do WWI come to think of it. Don't want anybody to feel left out. Grand unveiling at the post will be Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hey Bob, I notice Texas isn't on the list. If you want I could send you some. Let me know. I have two promises from Texas. Just haven't received anything yet. The Blue states are the ones that really concern me at this point. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorado Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 What about Oklahoma? I'm just south of the border here. Let me know if you do end up needing Texas or Oklahoma soil. I can get both easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
