It was brought to my attention today, that we stand to loose this honorable and worthwhile organization due to lack of support, after July 2nd's gig at Camp Lejeune NC, for the 2nd Tank Battalion!

Del and those who have helped, have been doing what they can, in the name of BBQ and the people that love it, to show support and thanks to members of the military!

After our small gig in Utah for 2 marines and 100 plus members of their families and friends http://www.thesmokering.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23717 , I have a small inkling about what it takes to do a real quality job supplying a valued gift, to those who have served our country and world with honor and integrity!

I will be making a donation of a small sum of money to them by snail mail, as the events before they shut up shop are not close to me, and I can't donate my time, cooker or meat!

In these times of world and national strife, with everyone concerned for themselves and their families, it warms my heart when I hear about the giving nature of the BBQ community, those that worked after the hurricanes and tornadoes, floods and other disasters, and those who honor us and our troops with their selfless acts of kindness.

If you have the time, you might think about offering some of it to help out, if you have the connections to a good cheap meat or fuel or pits, or even like me a little money that you can throw in the pot, perhaps now is the time to stand together on this?

Dear Moderators, If this is in the wrong place please move it, if the links in this thread offend the rules, please overlook them in this case!
 
Got a email from Del yesterday about a request for Jackson, Michigan in July. Forwarded the info to Spydermike and we hopefully will get the Great Lks BBQ Assn involved and give a well deserved welcome home to those returning.

Del got me hooked up with Dave the Michigan rep for the bbq for our troops organization. Together with the Great Lakes BBQ Assn we hope to make some good things happen in the Great Lakes area soon.

Thanks for the update Scott!

This and other responses on other boards, showed me the whole thing wasn't going to pass away.

There is still support for our troops at the grass roots.

Scott,

When you have dates, do me a favor and drop me a note... If I can make it, I'd like to help out.
 
Scott, looking forward to more info on this on the GLBBQA site.
(or, is it there and I missed it...:icon_blush:)

Hope the knee is feeling better!
 
Hey Scott,

Sfisch is still gathering the details, as soon as we get some more hard details we will be blasting out to everyone by every means that we have!!
