To all of my troop support brothers...

Fred,

I'm a little baffled by your post. I have found you to be a straight forward, tell it like it is kind of guy and I feel backing down your presence is a mistake. If you need to do it for personal reasons, by all means that is understandable and no one could find fault in that.

BUT I feel to back down your efforts simply because others are not contributing, does a disservice to those who are. I fear that the "out of sight out of mind" mentality may lessen the donations even further. Reading posts about donations, fund raisers and troop support is no different than any other post. If I don't drink coffee I don't read the coffee threads. Same for certain cigars, I don't smoke certain cigars so when I see a post about them I just skip them. Same can be said for troop support threads, if someone doesn't want to read them, they can skip them.

God Bless and thanks for all that you do
Chuck
