A VERY SPECIAL REQUEST-Please help.

Hey Guys-

Across the street from me lives this a man. He is a paraplegic and VERY shy, and for the last 6 months I have only seen him sparingly. I didn't even know what his name was, or what his story was....Until today.

I found out he is a very special Iraqi war veteran.

This guy is actually Iraqi and was instrumental in training and organizing the first Iraqi special forces unit to help the Americans fight terrorist and insurgents in Iraq. Because of this, Al-qaeda (sp) put a bounty on his head and he was eventually ambushed while trying to reach his family one day.

Guy was shot 12 times...OK-You can read the story here-

Anyway, this guy worked up enough will to come over today to tell me how much he has loved seeing me in my kilt and wanted to know the story behind it. By the time we were done talking, he was begging me for one. He has applied for political asylum (Still a bounty on his head back home), so he can't work for money to buy one. So I thought.........

This guy is terribly depressed (He hasn't seen his family in 3 years) and the prospect of getting kilted out made him as excited as a little boy. This guy wants to join the club BAD!!!!

I have decided to get him kilted.

The gear is no problem so I am getting him the belt, sporran, flashes, and such.

Everything but the kilt

Being as money is a bit tight I'm asking the rabble, if anyone knows someone who is selling a used kilt or knows a good deal (maybe we could make a trade) to send me a PM.

This guy it TOTAL military. You know the type, so if you have an armed service branch tartan US or UK-That would really be the end all to be all!!! But any tartan is fine none the less.

His waist 34 inches and the drop would be by my estimation 22 inches. If anyone has something close and doesn't need it anymore send me a PM.

I can't tell you how excited he was at the prospect of being kilted and getting some gear. Let me know if you can help
