Want to help a deployed Saddo Member?

[Violent Demise]

Howdy guys and greetings from Baghdad. My unit is doing well. I'm posting b/c I've been trying in vain to get a Heavy Bag w/gloves shipped out here so we can do some training in our down time. If any of yall would like to help support the troops here in my unit we would really appreciate it. I'm looking for a heavy big with frame, b/c there is no place to hang it from the ceiling and a set of gloves. I've emailed several boxing equip manufacturers soliciting a donation but none have returned my msg. I understand that this is a large item and the shipping is expensive so this may very well be in vain. We appreciate any help. Thanks alot

I'll see what I can do about sending you some gloves

At least with the heavy bag it shouldn't cost too much, as most likely you can receive it empty and fill with sand... You should get some pads too as they are great for teaching newbies how to throw jabs etc and get others into the sport...

Just a thought but if you can't get a bag why not just string up a couple of Iraqi's? Then just order some gloves to protect your hands.

Isn't John McCain a big boxing fan? I'll bet he'd get stuff over there in a hurry.

keep in touch and stay face Van.

I know he said he wants to pratice boxing, but they could all use sticks in this case..

I don't know if this helps but Everlast Boxing is great with stuff like that...If you email them and give the same info you gave here (Your ID Unit etc)...and tell them the situation they have been known in the past to donate overstock items and discontinued item shipping included as long as it is something they can verify...I know they have done it for dozens of small amateur boxing clubs with limited funding I don't see why they would not help out with some of our finest...

Contact Everlast Boxing...

Good luck wish you guys the best
