Buy LT Kling's Soldiers a Beer

First of all, to the FS.org old-school friends, "Welcome Back. Its been a long time." I decided that I found a good reason to resurrect the old site I haven't written on in a couple years now!

I get asked a lot: "Is there anything we can do for you or your guys?" I don't usually have an answer, we get too many care packages as it is and its much different that my last tour where we didn't have a PX within hundreds of miles. But I think I found a good way that everyone back home can participate by helping me to recognize the efforts of my Soldiers of 3rd Platoon, 808th Engineer Company.

I'm so damn proud of these men and women and all they have accomplished this year and if I was independently wealthy I'd be taking them all out for a steak dinner and an open bar to celebrate. Unfortunately, I'm not blessed with that much disposable income but I still want to take them all out for a memorable evening together when we get back home. I can't yet say exactly when that will be due to security reasons, but its within the next two months and as soon as we're Stateside I can provide much more information so those who have contributed can follow along.

The Army doesn't exactly give us an entertainment budget, but these guys deserve one special night together with a few beers and some great food after the incredible year they have given in service to our country and the people of Iraq! Help me out ya'll!!

I make the following promises:

1) We will drink a lot of beer.

2) I will post follow-up pictures of the event here and on the FB group page.

3) Any money left will be donated to Fisher House in the name of SSG Clinton Newman.

I've attached a picture of the knuckleheads that your generous $ will benefit! We took this just before we shipped out last year. (No there's nothing near that fun here in Iraq)
