Open letter to the American public,
When you think back to the founding of this great nation, you need to realize that for every man who fought in the Revolution, there were many more times that who supported him both financially and material wise. Without that sense of giving and unselfishness, the Revolution would of been in more dire straits than it was. America succeeds because Americans are good, decent giving people. It's in that tradition that I ask you to help us fund our operations.
Nothing sickens me more than to ask for monetary and material help at this time of year with this type of economy. However, in planning the 2012 ops, I have had more members tell me they probably could not come anymore due to the cost of airline tickets and gas. These are combat vets for the most part who are vital to the success of our operations. So I regretfully ask you to donate whatever you can. Actually, we could use donated air miles the most. We all pretty much have our own gear but it is the cost of travel and lodging that kills us. When I started doing ops in 2005 a plane ticket was $220 round trip. Now, it is anywhere from $500 to $600. Insane! But there are ranchers who need our help, who ask for our help.
I know a lot of you wish you could go to that border and kick some ass but cannot for various reasons. This is one way that you can. Please email me at 50.cal.icon@gmail.com if you can help.
Thank You
