It doesn't look like the people at Walter Reed care enough to bother to respond to my inquiry. I have sent Ricky a message.

The specific list of soldiers has arrived, and they mostly want 6 strings or 4 strings.

Please check your stash, or see what wood is on the shelf and help out a soldier. These servicemen are not scheduled to return home until the end of next year -- that's a long time with no guitar!

Greeting Cigar Box Nation,
My name is SFC Sean Connor and I am currently stationed in Afghanistan. I am one of the soldiers on Ricky's list and thanks to Matt I will recieve my first ever 1 String Diddly Bow CBG. I want to thank you all for supporting troops like myself it means a great deal when we are so far from home. I look forward to playing the CBG, I have never played an instrument in my life, well besides the attempt to play the spoons with my Grandfather as a kid, yeah that didn't go over so well. Anyhow, once I received an email from Matt I became interested and decided to become a member of Cigar Box Nation. In Massachusetts, where I am from, I can't say I have heard of a CBG but when I return home I will share the knowledge.

Thank you again for your support and I may be interested in working with someone to customize a military specific CBG. Something that depicts Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom for which I both served. Take care and God bless.

Your Friend,
SFC Sean Connor

P.S.
I will take pics once I recieve my CBG and post if that is acceptable.
