SSgt Josh M. order |
I just got off the phone with you to place the
order to go to my nephew in [location withheld]... It's a magnificant service you are performing,
and as Josh's uncle and as a old Marine, I really appreciate
what you are doing.
This was initiated by my oldest buddy from the Corps, Joe W.
It shows how much the term band of brothers really means amongst
Marines.

Learning about "Project Bore Sake" |
My sister Dr. Cheryl W. of "Waterhouse Veterinary" in Fresno, Ca. sent
me your card and informed me of the great work you and
your friends are doing for our service men and women. My
19 yr. old Marine son is newly-activated and due to deploy
to the "Sunni Triangle" in April of 08. He will have 2
months of training from now until deployment in [location withheld]. When he has
boots in the sand I'll send a donation for him and some
of his buddies.
God bless you. And God bless America.
NRA member and proud Marine father

a donation of boresnakes |
I am the armorer for [unit and location withheld] and I was wondering if I could
possibly get quite a few sets for my company... Every time we
put these on order the order gets kicked back. I would really
love to receive a set of these and I could possibly get
a hefty donation from all of the guys here. I would need
: 14 .50 cal, 30 7.62, 15 12 gauge, 75 5.56 and
75 9mil.
Please let me know and I will start getting a
collection from all of my guys. I just don't think that we
will be able to collect enough to actually pay for all these
out of our own pockets. Thank you and every soldier you have
helped I am sure greatly appreciates all that you do.

thank you |
My son, SPC Salvatore G., stationed @ [unit and location withheld], Afghanistan,
just received his #2 bore snake kit. He called me as
soon as he could and raved about your product. He couldn't
wait to try it out. He said it is better than
anything the Army ever gave him to clean his guns and it
saves him a lot of time.
I didn't send you a
donation because I am a realtor and I haven't sold a house
or had any income in months, but I am very grateful to
you for being so generous. Thank you.

Bore Snake |
What an awesome undertaking! This is a serious issue and getting supplies
can be very difficult. I'd request 75 5.56 and 75 9MM snakes
for our MP unit. Thank you for all you are doing!

Thanks for the great support to our military! And super article
on FOX news. I'm a team chief for an 11-man team
deploying to Iraq in March. Request a combat load of your
snakes for my team that has the m4 rifle, m9 pistol, m240,
and m2. Thanks for any help,

Thank You |
I just sent in a donation. I am so glad I
saw your information on Fox News. What a wonderful thing you
are doing and I am glad to help. I am 69
years old and have lived through WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc. We
need to do all that we can to help our servicemen/women.
Thank you so much for what you are doing.

The Bore Snake |
I'm currently deployed in Iraq and my PLT SGT (who is
also our Armorer) told us about your website and your product.
The sand and dirt accumulates on our weapons so quickly and
it's extremely important for a soldier to keep their weapon clean.
My unit is a NG unit out of Illinois and we
are short of some of the things regular Army units would
have, cleaning kits included. One of our trucks is set up
for soldiers to come in and clean but we have several
soldiers at other FOBs and another platoon that is constantly on
mission and it would be easier for us to have something
we can just throw into our pocket.
If you would be able to donate to our Company of
186 soldiers it would be greatly appreciated. Most of the soldiers
have M4's but there are some M16s and 249s. If you
cannot ship that many, that's understandable and I will be happy
with whatever you can provide.
Thanks in advance and just know that everyone here in uniform
appreciates all the support you and the other folks back home
are giving during this time.

When it comes
to something like this it almost seems too good to be
true. Also I note in your contibuters, I did not see
anyone from Nebraska. We will have to rectify that.
Thanks once again.

Request for Support |
I am currently serving as the Executive Officer for a National
Guard Infantry Company getting ready to deploy to Iraq. We
are at Ft. Stewart, Georgia right now completing our train-up.
I ran accross your website while researching boresnakes for my unit
and was hoping you could help us out. Since we
are not in theater yet, funding is tight, yet we wanted
soldiers to have these as soon as possible. We currently
have 131 M4 carbines, 6 M9 pistols, 21 M249 SAWs, 14
M240B machine guns, 10 .50 caliber machine guns and 10 Mk19
automatic grenade launchers. Any support you could provide would be
most welcome. I think what you are doing for
the soldiers is quite fantastic. People like you remind people
like me why we do what we do. Thanks again.
