EL SHELBY Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 John, you may want to start a new thread dedicated specifically to directing people to the site. It will be lost quickily in this thread as people continue to pass along their well wishes and condolences. In fact, it would be nice to see TS add a permanent link in a banner.

stpracer43 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Condolences to the Family. May the sorrow of their loss be washed away by the joy of having shared in the life of their brave husband and father. Great effort on the tribute to MSgt Coleman and fundraising effort in support of the family. Throughout all branches of the military the Special Operations "family" is a close knit family, just like Team Shelby (I'm proud to say). Mark's children will have the opportunity to receive college scholoraships provided by the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. After the failed Iranian Hostage rescue mission at Desert One, the SOWF was founded to provide college opportunities for the children of fallen Special Operations Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines. The SOWF is currently committed to providing scholarship grants, not loans, to more than 800 children. These children survive some 700 Special Operations personnel who gave their lives in patriotic service to their country, including those who died fighting our nation's war against terrorism. To date, 156 children of fallen special operations warriors have graduated from college. The above is not meant to detract from the support efforts of Team Shelby... just wanted everyone to know his family will be supported in this special way. Rest In Peace MSgt Mark Coleman.

blkGT500nCA Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Thank you to those who were the first to donate and test out the donation and purchasing process. Things appear to be going well! I have also added the options for MEDIUM and SMALL for the shirts so going forward you will be able to select those. The shirts have to be ordered soon though so we encourage everyone to please make your shirt purchase as soon as possible. Brian will need to post us a deadline for orders on the shirts. Thus far we have had 11 shirts purchased and an additional 9 donations! Please help us spread the word. I've got to have my shirt order in first thing on Monday.

Secondo Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 This is unbelievable- he and I conversed a bit about his signature I told him how much I liked it and now he's gone.

Stormracer Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Brian, just a thought! Could it be possible to add a small American Flag to the left sleeve. Kind of the like the Mile of Mustang shirt has? Is it too late to do that? Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
