    I wish I could post more info, but the US Army handles all the transactions and money, and they will make it public after the RV is set up. We can't tie up our phones with questions till after the Army sets the ground rules...they handle the rentals. The US Army has got a free transporter to bring us the Donated RV.
    We already talked to the local Lowes store which we do a ton of business with and they want to jump in with goodies too.!!
    I can not, without giving away our name and local, tell you about the owners here. You will understand later why we wanted to do this. :D

    If you will, thank the owners on my behalf. I made use of Army Morale Support during my seven years in uniform. It may seem a small thing, but does make a difference.

    The US army's MWR program is something we have been looking into for a while.
    It is ,from what we have talked to soldiers, one of the better fun things a soldier's family can do cheaply.

    Thank you GG for the offer, but we have a complete kitchen, separate BBQ smoker shack and a super large open
    pavilion where we have bi-weekly dances, dinners, karaoke, and free ice cream socials to "meet your neighbor campers".
    Our $10 all you can eat catfish fry is always a big hit with the campers.
    The US Army told us anything like that we charge the soldiers directly. We Laughed at that. Charge them??? NOT going to happen!!!

    It's here!!!
    A brand new Forest River 31 footer.
    BUT it sleeps only 6 not 8. and it didn't have the outside kitchen. :(
    We will be set up on a remodeled deck in about 5 to 7 days.
    Get your soldiers notified for this great deal. Up to a week stay for next to nothing!

    Lowes has donated a huge American flag and pole for the RV site and is ordering flags of
    all the service branches we are going to put up around Old Glory.

    I will post pics of the first GI and their family that enjoy this little thing we can do for them.
    Our soldiers deserve more.
    One of the owners of this campground is a retired Major from The US Army Rangers.
    He is especially glad to be now part of the "TENTS FOR TROOPS" program.

    Okay now a question for the military guys here....

    Other than the correct rules for displaying the American flag, {we have many thru-out the campgrounds} , Is there any rules or suggested order of displaying service branch flags???
    We have the option right now to have Old Glory centered and higher than the rest, with the smaller flags to the left and right, or in a circle around the higher American flag.

    Any rules or guide lines??

    Thanks Bob
