Title: A Gift from Afghanistan
Post by: El Destructo on January 13, 2009, 08:19:03 am

Well I went to the Post Office Yesterday and there was a Package from FOB Salerno...well there is only One Person I know that is playing in the Mountainous Deserts over there....I could hardly wait to get my Knife out and open it....kept looking at the Box while I was driving down the Road!! Finally go it In the House....and here is what I receive.......You did a great Job Jesse......and I hope that I can finish the one and make it look half as good as the Finished Ones I got from You

                                         If you look close you can see the Note I got on the Big White One!!!
