FR Idea for MIA Bracelets Honoring WTC/DC/PA Patriots
self ^ | 9/20/01 | self

Posted on 09/20/2001 10:59:00 PM PDT by William_Rusher

After discussions from a previous thread concerning POW/MIA day on Sept. 21st, I bounced around the idea of finding engravers here at FR to come up with tribute bracelets in the POW/MIA tradition for the victims of the recent attacks on America. In no way do I mean to detract from the respect and honor due the POW/MIA issue.

I am looking to get the ball rolling on this quick.

FR should find a way to auction off the bracelets of the 5000+ victims of these attacks and send the money to the victim's survivor's funds.

We need a source of supply for the bracelets, probably available from POW/MIA sources.

We need a slogan for all the bracelets, a standard phrase or maybe something from the Presidents speech tonight.

We also need engravers.

I am open to suggestions my friends. Help us get this started and help us follow through to completion this fund raising effort. Surely we have the resources at our disposal as a group to make this happen.

We need folks to keep this bumped to the top (bttt)

And last but not least,

"LET'S ROLL"

Any source on that? Maybe a link? Still a way for us to raise some cash for the families via FR, no? The bracelets could have FR on them stamped somewhere. Any ideas on design? Brainstorm Freeper!

The person who holds the purse strings here at FR should handle the auction and delivery of the monies raised. Good enough for ya?

Left msgs with 3 different vendors off the POW/MIA site and left my name and number for info. Will make contact with them again tomorrow. Thanks for the flags and pings. This will catch on tomorrow morning, if the President's speech doesn't keep it on the back page.

Hope so. I'm working from memory and running out of names to flag. The beer doesn't help. ;^)
