If this is not allowed just let me know and Ill remove it.
Im getting ready to deploy again. My Soldiers are going to be spread across Iraq and Afghanistan on 5 different sites, so I will be traveling a lot and have the opportunity to take care of a lot of Soldiers. Im building my stash to hand out. Ive mostly got cigars right now.
What I am asking for is anyone who has some old pipes lying around - Ill do the restoration if needed. Or any pipe accessories
Email me at jjmitchem@gmail.com for details. I can provide a copy of my military ID and deployment orders for proof if desired
Last deployment I handed out over a thousand cigars and I can tell you it makes a big difference

Thank you for your service and for doing this. When do you leave? How much time do we have to get something to you?

Might be time for someone experienced to verify this and make contact, then link this from the "give away pipes and tobacco" thread. Then might hook him up with the Free Pipe Project and see if the major retailers are willing to contribute.

Maybe our host could do the vetting? Then we can start moving on this.

Jim, this is great. Feel free to check out Briar Nation on Facebook, a group of active military and veterans (and civilians), who do similar work. You may like what you see there.

I concur that if the host or mods would do this, it would keep personal information private and give us a responsible but disinterested third party to verify this effort.
