I am a 1stSgt and about two months into my Afghanistan deployment. I was traveling to visit my Marines at their different patrol bases and found two of my Marines with the CBG's and was amazed. One of my Lance Corporal's was playing while teaching the other who was just learning. I was fascinated by the CBG. They told me about the site and what you do. Gentlemen it is a great service because my two Marines had big smiles on their faces and as I watched them play, being deployed away from their families was not in their thoughts. Words can't describe the impact you have had on these two young Marines. Semper Fi.

I liked the Gears of War theme. As i was looking a friend of mine who is here with me saw it and liked it immediately. It is right up his alley. He joined and posted above me. I told him I would let you know it is okay with me if you supported him with Gears of War. His email is johnnyvusmc@yahoo.com. I looked through the rest of your pic and you have done some nice work. It is a true gift you have.

Hi John,

 

It is sounding like Johnny will get the Gears of War guitar. If so, then did you want to take Jess up on his offer?

 

Once we work that out, I will mark these as matched up.

 

Semper Fi from a Marine family.

I would like to take Jess up on his offer. Thank you.

That sounds good. Just let Jess know if you need right handed, left handed, 3 string, 4 string, etc.

He does some excellent work. His stuff is first rate.

Dan

Hi John:

Has the guitar arrived yet?  If not, it should be there soon.

Stay safe and well.

Jess
