This is why I give in person. I just do not trust people to get enough of my $$ to where I want it to go.
Funny thing about Marines, not one has ever asked for anything or taken any cash. They just don't do that. Is why I provide a place of quiet, beer and a phone number. If you wanna feed a Marine the best way is to give them a post hole digger and put a string where you want the fence. They'll eat the food and drink the beer when the fence is up. If you wanna show a Marine a good time with no work invite his wife and kids, get them off base or out of housing. Then throw a party.
My kids have learned ALOT from Marines up in SC. When my younger son was in a batting slump he reminded himself he has to look inside himself, grab the job and bust it out. Fisher taught him that when he was six. As of this morning the league has him batting .575, with a pitching ERA of 00.00, tops in the league. Giving is a two way street.
