Guitars for Grunts

Recently, certain powers that be in Cambridge Ma. decided that the Boy Scouts were being to Pro-War with their Support the Troops donation boxes. What! are you serious! sending toiletries to the troops defending and serving this great nation, is now to be considered Pro-War! Ok, I will shut up before I go off on a rant that would make a Master Chief in the Navy blush.

Ok, So here is what is going to happen, The Boy Scout Troop 45 is going to get a super boost of motivation and support. I have just packed up and sent off a white Squire Strat electric guitar to the
one and only "Motor City Madman" Ted Nugent to be signed, then returned to me so I can send it
off to the Boy Scouts in Cambridge Ma. so they can then sign the guitar and send it off to the troops.
I am also going to include a small practice amp along with the guitar.

So to all the young men of the Boy Scouts of America Troop 45.
Thank you for supporting our troops and for being young men of honor and integrity.

Recently I happened upon a discussion about a Gold Star Mother wanting to send cards and letters to the soldiers that her son served with.

I contacted Daniel's mother and asked her if I could send a guitar to her son's unit in his memory. she then put me in contact with the Chaplain that presided over Daniel's memorial service in Iraq.
I am presently getting a guitar ready for deployment in Daniel's memory.  

Army Spc. Daniel P. Cagle 22, of Carson, Calif.; assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga.; died May 23 of wounds sustained when an improvised explosive device detonated near his unit in Ramadi, Iraq.
