CALLING THE VIPER NATION: Let\'s thank the boyz and girlz fighting in Iraq!

In the winter 04 VIPER magazine there was an article featuring Darin Jackson who is currently serving over in Iraq. After reading his story, I took a few moments of my time to personally thank him - and all service persons generally.

I hope Darin doesn't mind me sharing his response, but here goes...

I'm thinking that everyone of us in the Viper Nation should take a few moments to thank these valiant folks for their courage and presence. I don't personally know any military folks, so I chose Darin to share my thoughts with. Maybe you have someone you know. If not let's flood Darin with email 'thanks'. He is a Viper guy at the very least! Here's Darin's email: <[email protected]>

Let's show Darin that the Viper Nation is behind him and our service folks 110%! :headbang:

FYI...

If you want to support another one of our men (Also a Viper owner) who is on active duty and has done one tour in Iraq and may head back again helping patch up our wounded...head over to viper alley.com and look up a member under the name of "Nightstalker" He also just posted 100's of pics of his tour. The site has created a military photos section. Be warned though...they are not edited.

I sent Darin an email the same night I received the new Viper Magazine. I offered to provide Christmas gift rides to family and friends of any solder from my area. I hope Darin reads this post and asks around! There are a lot of kids that are missing there Mom's and Dad's. With Christmas on the way I would like to show my support and help show the family's There Mom's and Dad's have a lot of friends. :usa:

Re: CALLING THE VIPER NATION: Let\'s thank the boyz and girlz fighting in Iraq!

Hey everybody. Unfortunately we had a death in our unit the other day and the computers have been down so the family could be contacted by the Army and not by an errant email. I was completely amazed today when i did sign in and look at my army email address. It was like, YIKES! look at all this mail. It is really cool to know the viper nation supports all of us over here. It does make a huge difference for the troops that are out there putting themselves in harms way every day to know the vast majority of the American people support our efforts. The U.S. presence will be here for quite some time. I'm trying to answer everyone's emails individually in a timely manner. I'm sure my responses will all blend together. Bottom line, I truly appreciate everyone's well wishes and we will continue to kick ass over here until ordered not to. I share all of the emails with my guys and they too are amazed at the support from the Viper nation. Thanks again everybody. Your support makes a huge difference for this GI.
sincerely,
Darin

Anyone know if there is a way to get more soldiers email addys?

Here is my brothers e-mail address who is over in Iraq as well. Please, please send him mail! Let's keep this thread going :usa:

[email protected]

I spoke with my brother this weekend and he has received several e-mails from our Viper Bretheren and he says when he can actually get some time to get back to each one of you he will do so at his earliest convenience! He told me to thank each and everyone of you and for the support you have given them. Please keep them coming!

Darin,

I made a Costco run and picked up some goodies to help make life a little better over there. I'll drop the items off at Fedex tomorrow. Not sure how long it'll take to get there, hopefully by Christmas. There's plenty to share with your buddies when it does arrive. Thanks again to you and all the service members over there.

God Bless :usa: :usa: :usa:

emailed Darin,
It brings tears to your eyes to think what these guys (and girls) are doing for this world and the sacrifices they are making for the freedom of others they my never meet.
I offered him a sterling silver Viper key for his own Viper as a Christmas present. I made one for myself last year and the jeweler still has the mold. It's what the Viper should have come with. Hope he takes my offer.
