Very generous and nice KARMA. But, alas I live where those scary guns are verboten. Always hoping for a Scotus opinion to fix it.

Thank you for the extremely generous Karma!
Although I did not serve in the military like my father (Army 199th Light Infantry Brigade in Vietnam) and Grandfather (Navy USS Saratoga CV-3 during WWII), I did follow in their footsteps serving as a police officer.
If won, this will be going to my cousin who is a retired Navy Corpsman (FMF), and is still very active with his Marine unit along with numerous veteran groups he belongs to.

I’d like a chance. My son in law is in the Air Force and has been deployed in Korea for the past year. He gets home the day before Thanksgiving and this would go to him. Thank you for the opportunity.

Amazingly generous, thanks for the chance and good luck to all!

I served 22 years in the Army, eight enlisted infantry and 14 commissioned as a signal officer with four combat tours (three Iraq, one Afghanistan). My daughters are currently serving, one is a captain serving as a physician's assistant and the other is a sergeant in intelligence (served in Iraq and Syria). My wife and I are super proud of their service!

My grandfather fought in WW2 and Korea in the Army, my father served in the Navy during Vietnam, three of my uncles served full careers in the Army, and my Marine cousin gave all in Fallujah in 2004.

Great karma! Please and thank you!
I'm not .mil but in LE. My oldest has been in the Army for the past eight years. Nine years, I'm getting old.
If won, this would go to my nephew who is in a small town PD and they're going to start allowing officers to have their own rifles next year. They don't even have shotguns.



Not minority enough!

Thanks for the chance Q. I was Navy from 85-99 and my youngest is a crew chief in the Marines on the AAV. I flew in the Navy and instructed and done some scary things. Then I saw my an AAV “splash” into the ocean going ashore. Terrifying. I am trying to convince my son to change MOS’s to basically anything else. lol.

Wonderful karma.

I was USAF 67-71, following my father's flying on a B-17 crew in WWII and re-upped to run a gunnery school during Korea.

Both of my brothers served in the Army, late 60s-early 70s.

Thanks for the fun chance.
