After the flood of interest in the mismatched parts SMP's, I thought it would be a great opportunity to do something I've been wanting to do for a while. Many of you know John Hill's wife passed away after a battle with cancer. His friends have started a fundraiser to help cover outstanding medical bills: https://www.giveforward.com/fundrai…/…/in-memory-of-katrina…; Some of you all may not realize it but you all have greatly benefitted from John's diligent work moderating this forum, creating files for reference, etc. So this is your chance to say thank you! We will be selling 25 of these missmatched units directly to you our customers. From each sale we will donate $80 to the fundraiser for a total of $2000. In addition, since you all asked for it. 5 of the 25 I signed. These will go out randomly since we don't even know once they are boxed which is which! For those of you who don't want another SMP in goofy colors, please consider donating directly! John has done a great deal to support the airsoft community and this is a little way we can say thank you! We are working on a link to let you purchase them through the website. These will be sold on a first come first serve basis. **Edit** I posted this here specifically cause I want the people who have benefitted from John's work to have the opportunity to support him. It's you all doing the giving not me...I'm just helping out by giving some incentive.**End Edit**
Farewell to a TRUE Warrior - Tommie "Tommy Gun" Lukowski
Thumpy Covey's insight:
We “play war.” It is really that simple when it comes down to it.
Some among us have fought real battles. Some warriors continue those fights long after they and their friends return to civilian life.
Then there are guys like Tommy Lukowski. We never met in person. But, with so many in airsoft, there was a bond of caring and sharing and giving for this other kind of warrior that people around the world and far from his home in New Jersey felt they did know him. Knew of his struggle, his battles with cancer and pain. Knew of the generosity of airsofters who helped him financially, emotionally, and he helped them in due measure. All debts paid-in-full by just sharing the strength and honor of this man who was a firefighter, a husband-to-be, one tough guy who others gained so much from just through the knowing.
As our veteran friends here often say, “Fair Winds and Following Seas.” Until we meet again. And we, too, wish cancer would get cancer in its stupid cancer face and just die, buddy.
“With your help we raised $3097.03 for the victims and families of the July 16th tragedy in Chattanooga during our Nooga Strong benefit game this past Saturday! You guys are awesome and we can’t thank everyone enough who came out and participated as well as all the companies who donated items! We couldn’t have done it without you. #noogastrong
