This kinda hit me pretty good, and I shared it with my Garrison, but I really wanted to make sure to share this with you guys too...
Today I went out pledge driving to raise funds for the wal*mart walk for miracles for BC children's hospital this Sunday. A 5 year old boy came up to me today.....shook my hand, looked at me in AWE as I stood there as Boba Fett, and put some pennies from his own little pocket into our pledge box to contribute.....his mother lifted his shirt....and told him to "tell Boba Fett how many times you've been helped by BC Children's Hospital"....he had a huge scar in the center of his chest from 4 open heart surgeries. 5 years old...4 open heart surgeries....and he donated his little allowance money to help the charity organization that actually saved HIM 4 times.
I just want to thank you guys and gals.....because if I wasn't part of this community, if I didn't find bobamaker for the suit, FettDad for the blaster, Terminalfettler for the boots and Sonik for my new perfect girthbelt I'd have never been recruited by the Badlands Garrison and I wouldn't be able to go out for these causes in our name. I'd never have an experience like that.....and what made it even bigger was that my son Marc who's come and helped us at troops and even trooped himself with us was standing right next to me and afterwards he gave me just about the biggest hug he has ever given me....
Talk about an unexpected impact.
I'm going to do everything I can whenever I possibly can to make this community of Fett-Heads and my Garrison insanely proud.
