Bob,
This is excellent, I read to the bottom of the thread and I think that you have something here. Since there are so many of them and so few of us, what would you think about building a large package and sending the package to the platoon. If they have e-mail we could set up communications with them. What about Paul Jr's unit, are we doing anything for them?
Let me know what is going on, and what I can do.
Dave
