Blu…

What can I say that the others have not already said? No a lot, I think. Still, I think it bears repeating…Take care and be careful! Obviously, if you find yourself in any nastiness, do what you have to do. I know you guys watch each others back and I have seen how close the bonds are between those who serve in the worst of situations can be. I have no doubt that you and your fellow Marines will get each other through your tours and back to your families when your part of the job is done. Again, be as safe as you can and thanks for your service. It is truly appreciated.

How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

From an old military guy to a youngun', stay safe and keep your sense of humor while you're away. I'll get your list of tying stuff desired from Jon (papaSmurf), and if there's anything they don't send that you may need, just post it here, and I'm sure it will arrive in the sandbox pretty quickly.

Semper Fi (Gosh you don't know how much it hurts a Zoomie to utter that, but I have worked with many folks from every service branch as an old chief of tactical airlift flunky, and truly thank you for your service!)

Blu,
I also never met you.
I hope that you will be kept from harms way and return safe to you family and friends. I am sure it's a very difficult time for you r family while you are away.
May god bless you and all our service men and women who go bravely into harms way! We would be lost without you and your families sacrifices. As well as all the other brave men and women who choose to protect us!

Thank you...

I will get on that list for sure, tie some yellow hollow points, get a 10wt with shooting head line and practice your long distance accuracy! Till you get back.
Rock on Brotha! :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Send me your address. What ever you need I will try to send. IDEA: If we all want to a nice donation package for one shipping I'd be glad to handle the $$$$ posting. Blu. Post a full list of needs and we could tick them off.
