Once he has the new kilt, he won't need the boxers if he decides to "Go Regimental"

I'm in for $20.00
I can remember many a night, firing artillery missions with a steel pot on my head, flack jacket, boxer shorts and untied boots. Now the boxers were army green and not pink.
When we got a call at night we assumed that there was a patrol taking fire and needed support, NOW, and the time it would take to put on pants could mean someone's life.
I wonder if his squad will ever let him live it down?

I'll send a belt with buckle. Let me know where and when.
I was going to send a sporran, but you already have enough for that, so belt it is. I think I can send a brown one if you'll get a brown sporran.

It's Coming Together
Just spoke with Zachary Boyd's mom, and she says he will be back for July 4th. Any North Texas kilties are welcome to attend the gifting ceremony.
Rocky says he wants payment in one lump sum, so I will need each of the donors to PayPal their pledges to me. (Will send my PayPal info to you via private message in a day or so.)
Now all we need is a Fort Worth venue where we can present him the kilt, and a room he can change into it. Can anyone volunteer a place? (He will need some assistance getting kilted his first time.)
emailing Specialist Boyd tomorrow via my DOD email

I have a "X Marks the Scot" badge to donate.
As he is from Fort Worth, I would suggest a venue of a location in Fort Worth. I can do some inquiring tomorrow and Wednesday of the places I reside.
The Flying Saucer in Fort Worth does not have a large bathroom, so I would say this is out.
The Ginger Man on Camp Bowie has a bigger bathroom, but it is not that great in size.
Sherlock's Barjer Street Pub off Camp Bowies is as a larger bathroom.
I will visit a few other places and report back, KK??

Well, I am on the road- away from the forge- so I cannot send a buckle. Thanks thescot for picking up the slack! When I get back I will make a shadowbox brass and stone pendant. I have to contribute whenever I can to the men and women who confront those who would kill us.
