We have a special right now for upcoming FRG events and wondered if you needed any shirts for the soldiers or families. We would love the opportunity to help create something the everyone can have as a keepsake to remember these events for time to come. If you were interested please reply to this thread and we can help you with any ideas you may have in mind.
Talk soon.
