Pics from Pink Boxer night
Thank you to Colonel and all others who put this together. SPC Boyd seemed to be overwhelmed but appreciative for the presentation. Also thanks to the pipers and guitarist who played and to all those who showed up. It was a very special night and instilled patriotism in all that were in attendance.

Now for the evidence.... http://sroland.pictiger.com/albums/63567/

Some pics had to be removed to protect the innocent. (Wolfhawk threatened me life...and I think he was serious... lol)

I will also be posting a video of the event after I get it edited proper.

Ironically.... I was explaining my being in civilian clothes and out of nowhere Rocky phones me to tell me my items have come in from Scotland and that my kilt should be delivered in a couple of weeks. I was actually in a conversation about USA Kilts when my phone rang.... I think Rocky may be a spy or something.


Anyhooos... video will be posted within the week.

Great photos, glad it went off so well SPC Boyd look great in the kilt, it was a wonderful gesture I'm glad you were able to show him just a wee bit of appreciation. Good for you Col. MacNeil and everyone who helped to make this happen.

BRAVO!

SPC Boyd looks wonderful in his new finery and I am sure that your generosity and the goodwill you have given him will be something he always cherishes

Guid on you folks and Guid on you Mr. Boyd!

Cheers
