Gift for My Son Damien - Home from 4th then Off to 5th Tour of Duty


smokemeister25

Question

hi guys...

 

i'd like your advice on a little tiny kit for a gift for my son. about 5 months ago my son came home slightly wounded from his 4th tour of duty in you know where... :( as a gift to himself he bought a new camaro SS the day he arrived home. it was something he had saved for and wanted for a long time. he keeps it clean as a whistle but i'm sure he doesn't do it right or even for that fact know how. i know for a fact that he uses a lot of spray detailer instead of washing. i would like to ask ashley to send him a little tiny kit of the most important things and hope he will use them instead of just spray detailing with turtle wax ice and a bath towel or maybe he gets polish rags from walmart... you get the idea.

 

so could you give me your opinions on a small inexpensive kit of things for him to try. hopefully he'll actually give them a try and not just leave them on the shelf. i was thinking spray detailer, a couple of the nice microfiber towels, some waterless stuff maybe and waffle towels.... i think they have some sample sizes maybe. if he uses them and likes them i'm more than happy to buy him whatever he wanted but to just leave em sit on the shelf would be a bummer. not sure he really knows how to do what you guys are into.... do you think some sample sizes and a few towels for around 50 bucks or less is possible?

 

until lately he wasn't even able to use his arm well enough to really do much polishing but he's gone through a lot of physical therapy and is strong enough now. for what it's worth he's gonna get deployed on his 6th time and go back this march.... and yes, i worry a lot.

 

thanks for suggestions. i wish i could buy him everything but lets give him 3 or so things to get him started.

This has been an awesome outpouring of generosity and great to see!!

 

Look forward to hearing about the big reveal, wish I could be a fly on the wall. Would be cool if some of the AF gang could be there as representatives of the group as a whole to say 'Thank you for your service!' :patriot:

I echo all the earlier sentiments, and my heart-felt thanks to *ALL* who serve to protect our freedoms!

 

A special thanks to Lynn for all her hard work coordinating this....given all her other responsibilities, quite an effort, but not in the least bit surprising!

 

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

How late will you be answering the phone? I can call as soon as I get home and I don't like to be on the phone when I'm driving.

Thank you!

 

Just give me a call when you get home, I am an hour behind you. If we miss each other we can take care of things on Monday.

awesome! you can never have too much of that! i'm sure with an order that large its pretty easy to overlook/double up on some things!!!

 

 

he pretty much has everything he needs! that is literally everything with Adam's name on it! if anyone else contributes in time, the only thing i can think of not included is the Master Blaster sidekick!

Just checked the calendar and I'm in! Let's get a decent turn out for this event and to bring together the forum members who made this all possible! Wish you could make it Lynn! I haven't been out in that area since high school but this is a very good reason to go back.

 

Look forward to meeting you Les and some other great forum members as well!
