Thanks to Rick (Panzer) for a wonderful addition to the Museum (1 Viewer)

Our good friend Rick (Panzer), a United States Marine Lt. Colonel presently serving this country in Iraq, has once again sent me a wonderful gift to display in the unofficial K&C Museum: an American Flag that flew over the Multinational Task Force Headquarters in Falugia, a Multinational task force coin, a patch warning the Iraqis to keep their distance in both English and Arabic and an article about the palace used as their headquarters. The gifts are already on display in places of honor, and I will be sending Rick a K&C, UK Symposium Goodybag as well as an original 1991 glossy K&C United States Marine Pilot figure to remind him that he is in our thoughts, and was discussed at the Symposium whenever anyone asked about the display of (hallowed) Iwo Jima sand that he had previously sent me. Kevin was kind enough to attach this photo of Rick's generous gifts:

I think it is Fallujah--- I think Falugia might be a pepperoni place you may have taken the guys to in Little Italy during the Symposium

No doubt you are very honored to have received such an immense gift. A true treasure from a real warrior!! Show us when you get them officially displayed.

Great Louis,
Glad you got it!
The Flag was actually flown over the Multi-National Corps Headquarters in Baghdad.
Glad to see it has a place of honor in your museum.
take care.
Semper Fi!
Rick

You crazy kids! Yes, I freely admit I can't spell, so I just used the name of my favorite Pizza place in Little Italy!

Hi Panzer,

Very nice gifts! I just got my wife home from there and for my birthday she brought me a flag that was flown too. It is a very treasured gift after her safe return! As an old Doggie Tanker is there anything you might need from the big PX? Cigars, candy, a book or DVD? Drop me a PM if you do and your address and I wll get it out to you. I have a couple of other friends deployed right now so I am a regular at the post offce. Stay safe!

All the best

Dave
