Great War truck Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 It is wonderful to see such generosity and kindness. Well done everyone.

les freathy Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Well this appeal is certainly moving in the right direction my contribution will be on its way, why do i get this gut feeling that its going to be more than 10 veterans going to Normandy due to our efforts well done all les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Well all I can say is how great this is, what a response and quite right too. Please to anyone who is reading this, please give anything you can, any little bit will add up, just think if you were a vet and had not been back to France since and wanted to pay your respects. What a gesture for the young of today to give back to the young then for what they did for us.:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: If it wasn't for these people and the ones who did not come back we would probably not be doing this now.. What more can I say, donate please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, i am a little hard up this Month, but should be better off in November. What date do you need the money by? Thanks Tim (too) Wonderful Tim and thanks very much! Well we thought that we would launch now so we had until May to raise the £4000.....looks like we completely and utterly got that wrong. The response that we have is breath taking - we have nearly reached our taget in three days. That is worth repeating...we have nearly reached our taget in three days. Not too sure how to explain that. I will be writing to all of the leading military magazines about our campaign so that we can keep driving this forward. We have one or two surprise's that may come together for us but can't say anything for now :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I just made a donation. I used Paypal because it may be the cheapest way for me. Added a extra pound for the costs.

Rick W Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Any chance of having an "official" poster we can download so that we can start a collection in our workplace? Just another thought, on ebay you can donate a percentage of your sale to a charity, can you register this as a charity on ebay?
