2015/16 Racing Support for the Troops

December 18, 2015 Posted By Bill Pratt

Good afternoon to all,

We have had very little support on this years project the reason I am sending out the email once again. if you have donated please disregard this email.

We are starting our collection on time this year in order to try and beat the weather in Afghanistan and the mailing system is not the best in country. Last year I received a lot of items and we got them off to and to AFRICOM for the Somalia missions. I hope to receive even more items now that the racing season is almost over in hopes to make it a little brighter for our deployed troops. Many of you helped me over the past couple of years with my support the troops program in the past. I am back from Afghanistan now and I was working for USFORA headquarters in Kabul Afghanistan and Now I am assigned to the 470th MI brigade. I am doing up morale boxes from the racing community for the troops. I have posted photos on competition plus and promod source and Yellow bullet and on my facebook page. Some of the units are deployed out in the out country and it takes me a while to get the stuff to them.

Many teams, Tracks, and companies have joined up, including:
