A Picture of a Soldier, and the Challenge Coin Displays Made by Our Woodworkers
As you all know, our first shipment of Military Challenge Coin Displays went out to Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington DC about a month ago to be distributed to our Wounded Warriors recovering from their wounds while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. All our displays have been distributed.
It is a pleasure, and an honor to introduce you to U.S. Army Lieutenant Cameron Kerr 101st Airborne Paratrooper, one of the recipients of your challenge coin displays. And this particular display was made by Ron Dudelston! Ron, if you'd like I can email you the photo so you can print it out and maybe frame it and put it in a prominent proud place in your life. I know I will, and that goes for anyone else out there that would like to show your support of our Military Challenge Coin Display campaigns we are involved in. Just send me a request by PM. I am truly honored to see one of our displays in the hands of a true super hero. The young man put it all on the line for us, if our little gift brightened up his day but for just a short spell, it was all worth it.
The following link is the story of Lt Kerr and the reason why he ended up at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Please read:

I can't tell you all how proud I am of our network of woodworkers. You guys are the best. You stepped up to the plate, and helped make this happen. And I really need to hammer home the reality, that even if you didn't participate in this campaign directly, you need to know that just by being here, and signing in, and perusing our site, your supporting our efforts to help our Wounded Warriors. For that, I thank each and everyone of our members.

Isn't it Bob? I got a little stream of water that came from my eye, brushed it away quickly though before the kids and wife could see. Thanks for your comment Bob.
