Hello my fellow SVTPers! I will be participating in a once in a lifetime annual event in Normandy, France. I will be jumping into Utah Beach during “D-Day” and a surprise drop zone on June 6th, 2013. I am paying 200 € (euros) each jump. We will have quite a few travel expenses since we are traveling from Germany. We are renting tents, sleeping on cots (we don’t mind of course) and eating MRE’s to save costs.
For those of you who have a Grandfather or Great Grandfather that jumped and fought during WWII, this could be the best gift to the family. I am offering to purchase and jump an American Flag that will include a fancy 173rd Airborne certificate of authenticity signed by myself and the Jumpmaster of that chalk. Pictures will include us signing the certificate, the folding of the flag, before the jump with us rigged up, after the jump on the drop zone (if light permits because it’s a 2000 TOT) . The donation will also include a frame for the certificate and mailed to your choice of address. I will jump once each day and can hold 1 flag in each cargo pocket for a total of 4 flags, however I am jumping 1 for myself. That leaves 1 flag for Utah beach and 2 flags for the “Surprise DZ”. I am starting an offering at $75 OBO. It will cost roughly $20 for each flag(unit has zero to give away), $7 for the certificate frame, $20 to mail the box and the rest helps with the cost of the jumps, van, and fuel.
Disclaimer is your flag MAY get dirty/wet while in my pocket if I land on the beach and/or water.
This is in no way related to my unit or the U.S Army. This is a personal donation for what I love to do and offer something to those whos family member served there and will be remembered forever.
Please PM with donation offers.
Thank you:beer:
