Respect to our Troops in Iraq

One of our valued customers, Matt sent Jason some unique and amazing stuff straight from Iraq. Matt is currently deployed to Iraq, the entire Digital Storm team thanks him everything and wishes him a safe and fast ride back home.

That is pretty sweet, bring the boys home.

Semper Fi!

Hey Matt, for that it is worth, other people, other then Americans, also recognize your effort and courage and we know that was you are doing there is for the benefit of a lot more people then some care to recon, but a lot of us "others: recognize this!
JC proud Portuguese, proud to live in America!
Thank you

Again, special Thanks to Matt.

Thanks Than, that would be awesome! Hanging it in the Storm lounge will be pretty cool, especially when I suprise you guys by dropping by and asking to se all of the things I sent. They are now Inspectable Items Jason...that means if you dont have them with you You will owe me 50 pushups. In less than 1 minute. Or time and count start over.

Now, here is some general info and a small history lesson for anyone interested. The flag that I sent you ugys is a Guidon style flag. Here is the history of them History Since guidons are the focal point of a Military unit (the size that I got you is for company,which is about 300 people or less) They come on Staffs. If you want to display the guidon like the Military (definetly not neccessary) here is a webpage to get a pole/stand Guidon Poles

To clarify, I don't want you guys to think that I think that you need to display it like a military unit would, nor do I want you guys feeling pressure to. I was just putting out some info in case someone was interested :)

I hope you guys enjoy the flag/t-shirts and money with Saddams ugly mug all over them. The shot glasses, however, I hope you use..often...on Jason's dime....when you ARENT working on my computer :) Take care guys, and thank you for your support and the awesome job you guys do.

SGT Parsons. AKA Matt AKA Iraq Now (soon to be Iraq Then)

PS The Camel shirt is so awesome that I bought one for me. As soon as I figure out how to edit pics I will post some pretty cool ones of camels over here....Or maybe someone drop me a email and edit them for me....

P.P.S The city I am in is on the shot glass. I can't tell ya'll which, but it is on there.

Sure thing Matt. I'll email you my info by 1600hrs your time today.

Sure will be nice when you can come home to your DSO rig! I was in the Army for 5 years and whenever I was overseas it reminded me how lucky we are for the freedom we enjoy in the US.

Haha, thanks guys. HM I will definetly come by if you are serious. There is some hiking I want to do up there, on the Blue Ridge Parkway. A real steak would be awesome, and a afternoon by the pool would be pretty fantastic as well. Although I may go into shock at seeing that much water lol.

BTW the M249 MG fires 5.56mm, thank god. If I had to carry .30 or .50 ammo as well as the weapon to shoot it....I got shivers thinking about it.

Take care all
Matt

BTW for those of you who weren't there when the package was opened, all of the items were rare, except the flag, which was epic.

lol. I am tired and need to quit trolling.

Take care all
Matt

LOL @Bf2m. The Marines say HOO-RAH only because they screwed up saying HOOAH and don't want to admit a mistake. You know the Marines.

But, you do have the AF down pat. pip-pip. Awesome.

I'd rather "pip-pip" than that stupid "RA-HOO" they tried to sell.

Originally posted by bfrank2me Originally posted by WeCanCallMeB That's very thoughtful of you to send such cool loot to the folks at DS. We all appreciate your brave service to this great country. Kick some ass and get back home safely!  I bet you can't wait to enjoy your new rig. As my uncle (a Marine) would say, HOOAH! Brandon I don't mean to be pedantic when such emotion is involved, but on behalf of your Uncle and the rest of the USMC, I'm sure he would have said HOOAH! belongs to Matt and the rest of the Army, while he would give them all a resounding HOO-RAH!! We in the Air Force would just say Pip-Pip while sipping our tea. Bf2m

Haha BF2M.  My apologies.  I am sure he would have some words for me if he knew I had reported such an error .  I have been in more than one arm bar... All you military guys and your confusing rallying cries! 

Us civ's will have to stick with our "U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A!"

@ Matt - Nice WoW reference.  Get us something of Saddam's and I'm sure we could call it Legendary.  What server do you play on?

Hey Kidz......It's the MP Action Figure!

Sorry I haven't been posting in a while, I am not ignoring or forgetting about you guys just been really busy. Ok, this is a update. We just got through with our customs inspection, and should be heading home soon. (Can't say when bc the bad guys have forum trolls too...bastards) I am so excited I can hardly sleep anymore. Seriously. I watched the entire season 3 of supernatural in one night bc I cant close my eyes. I CANNOT WAIT to get home. I have my DSO rig, a 2009 Charger, and my incredible USA Razorback Explosion waiting for me..... I CANT WAIT!! I am gonna use the DSO rig to download Dimebag clips, use the razorback to play them myself, and watch it all on the screens in the Charger. Man life is sweet.

Take care all

Matt

They got rid of the Bazaar where I'm at, guess they got caught smuggling stuff in that they weren't supposed to.  Never seen a currency packet like that, though it does look pretty neat.  I usually just ask the Iraqi's I work with for some currency to take home when friends ask about it though.

Its amazing what you can find through the black markets here though, I was astonished by that.

FREE AT LAST....FREE AT LAST... oh thank god, Im free at last.
Home from Iraq for about a week now, recieved my DS rig yesterday, check out the review if you want at      http://www.digitalstormonline.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=4150..

I am really sory Costone, but I never saw those currency packs again man.
