(Ironically, I understand this is a French outfit.)
Maybe a PayPal account could be set up - people will donate more readily if it "painless".
Apparently it is French, but there seems to be an American version in Utah.
We need to know how many "lumens" are produced by this head lamp.
For instance a high tech small flash light that we sent to Stryker to check out produced 60 lumens.
Never did hear back about what they thought of it. OR if they need head lights.
So, while you all check into how many lumens this model produces, I'll fire off an email to Mosul and ask if they want head lights.
Cheers!
The article mentions that the "four light" version is the best, but it must have the red light filter. The three light version is out there, but apparently is not as good for our guys at night.
Many of us have our contacts in the field. Let's maybe sit on this a couple days till we have heard back from them?
If our guys need something that the military machine is not providing, we need to give that machine a nudge! Meanwhile, we can fill in the gaps. That machine doesn't always move as fast as it should.
I tried reactivating my Paypal account and it was so screwed up I gave up.
If you all and Spanaway Lori want to get permission from Jim Robinson to have your own fund raiser on your own thread on FreeRepublic, then one of you can do the Paypal thing, which I grant you is a good idea -- it just hasn't worked out for me.
(And I'll probably try again to get it straightened out.)
On this thread, I am putting my name and reputation behind any funds raised, therefore anyone donating using this thread should send the funds to me, because I know I can be trusted to make sure every penny goes to the troops.
