Cheers, ColMac

I'll double down... make my pledge $40.00.

Once he has the new kilt, he won't need the boxers if he decides to "Go Regimental"

I'm in for $20 for the kilt or sporran. Let me know how to send the money.

I can remember many a night, firing artillery missions with a steel pot on my head, flack jacket, boxer shorts and untied boots. Now the boxers were army green and not pink.

When we got a call at night we assumed that there was a patrol taking fire and needed support, NOW, and the time it would take to put on pants could mean someone's life.

I wonder if his squad will ever let him live it down?

Cheers!

I'll send a belt with buckle. Let me know where and when.

I was going to send a sporran, but you already have enough for that, so belt it is. I think I can send a brown one if you'll get a brown sporran.

Well, I am on the road- away from the forge- so I cannot send a buckle. Thanks thescot for picking up the slack! When I get back I will make a shadowbox brass and stone pendant. I have to contribute whenever I can to the men and women who confront those who would kill us.

I have a "X Marks the Scot" badge to donate.

As he is from Fort Worth, I would suggest a venue of a location in Fort Worth. I can do some inquiring tomorrow and Wednesday of the places I reside.

The Flying Saucer in Fort Worth does not have a large bathroom, so I would say this is out.
The Ginger Man on Camp Bowie has a bigger bathroom, but it is not that great in size.
Sherlock's Barjer Street Pub off Camp Bowies is as a larger bathroom.
I will visit a few other places and report back, KK??

We are all at different places at different time, so doing what you can is doing a lot. In addition, it is often small things done with caring that mean the most.
