We lost a good member today - Hisssss Killed by a IED

[Grabber]

I spoke with John (Farmdog) this afternoon and we're working on setting up a Pay-pal account for these stickers. They would sell for $20 a piece, and are almost 100% profit thanks to John.

 

Here are the 2 ideas I came up with. Please vote for the one you like best.

 

Decals are apx 3.5" x 5"

 

 

A.

 

 

 

B.

 

 

 

I like "B".

 

It seems to stick out bolder to me.

[mrfarmdog]

My vote is for "A" as well. Let me say this from someone who is in the military as well though: I think his rank and branch of service should be on the decal as well. He AND his family spent many, many years earning his time in the military. He was wearing his rank when he made the ultimate sacrifice.

 

Regardless of which way it goes....I am in.

 

Semper Fi,

As a prior military service man I agree.

I agree. I'll try and contact his son again to find out this info.

[GT500FLYBOY]

I vote sticker A as well.

 

Brett - thanks so much for sharing what must be so difficult. My condolences to you and your family for your father's sacrifice. And Thank You for your service to our country.

[sportscars]

I'm in for two. Just tell me where to paypal the money to.

 

I agree about the name, branch and rank BTW.

 

Brett, anything we can do, just let us know. Please.

[Slabo]

I like A as well.

 

Thank you Brett for sharing with us. Your father is a true hero. I also wanted to thank you for your service to this great country.

[cluscher]

Absolutely stunned to hear this. I'm at a loss for words. Horrible is all I can say. Thank you, Brett, for the details and info. Great idea on the decals.

[Blackhawkpilot]

Mark was a Master Sergeant last time I saw him. It has been several months so Brett will have to confirm.

A great man stood firm against a cowardly enemy for everyone here. I am proud to have known him. Rest in Peace Brother

[bchorney]

RIP... Mark

 

 

I vote for A as well.

Brett

[Blown Away]

I vote for A, along with rank & branch.

 

Brett, thank you for sharing the info about your dad. I know you and your family are going through a very trying time right now.

 

Stay strong,

 

Dan

Brett, although I am not a US citizen. I am strongly connected to your country. At May 4 our Remembrance Day we think about all the fallen heroes of WWII, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. At the two minute silence at 8 PM I especially thought about your father too. As a respect we have the flag on half pole. Mark, you will be remembered by me like the two Dutch Marines that drove on an IED last week. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

 

I vote for decal A.

 

[vapor08GT500]

I agree with A too...

 

Thank you Brett for sharing your Story with us. I had the honor to talk with your Dad at Rob's last year, Hope to see you this year, and so sorry for your loss.

Very good idea and his Legend will live on.............

[allenjh]

I just learned of Mark's death. I am saddened by his loss and extend my condolences to his friends and family.

[Cali_KR]

I like "A", as well the inclusion of rank and branch.

[Carl Bishop]

I vote sticker A as well.

I vote for A...... Just post up a link where to purchase one.

[DubbsFaris]

Yup, A here too...has to have his name on it....rank too.

[Doug_GT350]

If it's any help with his rank and branch information I got this off the Tacoma - Seattle news website.....

 

Mark Coleman, 40, a master sergeant with the Army’s 1st Special Forces Group stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, died Sunday in Afghanistan. Coleman grew up in Goldendale, Wash., and was a 22-year veteran of the military.

Heard it on the local radio station this morning.

[mywickedshelby]

Thank you Brett for posting and sharing the story........your Dad is a real hero to us all!~

[blkGT500nCA]

Alright, here is "A" with Mark's rank added. Hopefully within the next few days we'll have a Pay-Pal account set up and can start shipping these out.

 

 

I'm also working on a design for a T-shirt for the 4th Annual Pacific Northwest Meet & Greet. The shirt will have a Meet and Greet design on the front with this same memorial picture on the back. These also will be sold with all profits going to the Coleman Family. I should have something finalized by tonight.

[mywickedshelby]

great idea.....I'll get tshirts and decals .......thanks guys for putting this together........

[cobrakalas427]

"A" with rank included. I will purchase as soon as available.

 

Brett - I am so very sorry to hear of your Father's passing. My thoughts and prayers to you, your Mom, your Sister and also your extended family and friends. Words cannot describe the feelings that so many of us feel because of either our military service or that of our parents, siblings, children and friends. I pray that you and your family feel the love and concern from all those here to give you comfort in this most difficult time. Thank you very much for your service and your Father's to this great country of ours.

[Son of GT]

Regarding the decal, I vote for style "A" too, but would like to see the basic circumstances of his death added to it.

 

What I mean by that is this...

 

"KIA Kandahar, IED, 5/2/10" (not sure of the exact date).

 

In small type, nothing obtrusive to the rest of the text. I just believe that the citizens of our country need to be made more aware of the circumstances when a soldier is killed in combat. I see many, many, tribute decals on the back of people's cars and often wonder what happened to the person being honored. Illness? Auto accident? What happened to them?

 

Just my 2 cents.

[enormous]

RIP Alloy brother.

My deepest sympathy goes to his family in prayers.
