GREAT Dealers Step in to Help Soldier being deployed

AbnRangerM7 said:
I was out of the loop for a few days and just read these threads this morning. All day I have been at a loss for words and overwhelmed by everyones support.

When I posted my situation with TM2, my intentions were to help fellow snowmobilers to be more informed of who they order from. My second intention was to hopefully light a fire under TM2's butt and get my money back! (still hasn't worked!)

I never expected this type of response! As I said earlier, it's been overwhelming, especially for someone like myself who usually shies away from any type of recognition!

The support that everyone has given our armed forces is awesome. It's what drives us and motivates us to put that uniform on each and every day; to put 60+ pounds of gear on in 120 degree heat; to willingly spend multiple deployments away from loved ones and to willingly do whatever it takes to keep this country safe.

When I returned from Iraq the first time, our first stop on American soil was Bangor Maine. Hundreds of people were there to welcome us and thank us even though they did not know us. A fellow Soldier that go off the plane with me was overwhelmed by emotion. He told me that when he returned from Vietnam he had to change into civilian clothes and throw his uniform away before exiting the airport! (Because of protesters waiting to beat up men in uniform returning from Vietnam!) I will never forget that day, or that Vietnam vet who volunteered at the age of 53 to defend his country again. He even attempted to go again recently, but was turned down due to his age.
Without your support there would not be stories like this to share!

Thank you to everyone!!

Godspeed on your return!!!

we look forward to pics of you in your gear in the mountains!!!
 
Thats awesome that they stepped up to take care of you! Stay safe over there and make it back so you can enjoy everything you are protecting.

My last trip over there I e-mailed 5 different dealers and explained that I was deployed in the desert, but wanted to snowcheck my yamaha before I got back...Only had 1 dealer respond, and you can guess who got my business:D
 
It amazes me the kind of people here. I, like AbnRangerM7 and motojunkie101, am proud to defend this country. It certainly does make you feel better about what you do when there are these kinds of people back home.

It is definitely frustrating when trying to take care of business from the other side of the world, and having people who are so willing to help is very nice. I know from my time overseas, there are many companies who wont ship to APO/FPO addresses. I'm not sure why, but there are a few companies out there who do. I like to support the folks who support us troops.

Thanks for the support guys, Ill keep you all on my radar for future purchases! (as long as you ship to APO/FPO:) )
 
Very cool to see companies stepping up to take care of their own, especially in tough economic times like right now.
 
What exactly is EricW's business? He definitely seems like the type of person I would like to support with my sledding dollars. You look through the guys posts.........and there are MANY like this. Just a straight up class act.

I'm a marine (tug/barge) contractor in the Pacific Northwest. I work mostly on the upper Columbia and Snake Rivers. Any chance I could barge your sled for ya anywhere in Alberta? LOL.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm just a guy who is living a blessed life and trying to pay it forward in some small way each day. I also try to never loose perspective of the fact that my paying it forward never involves me putting my life on the line like our men and women in service. The fact that they choose to do this to protect me and mine compells me to go to any distance I can to support them.

No place I'd rather be than here on the forum where most others feel the same way too. Lots of great folks. Thanks again. EW
 
FreeAgent, you are AWESOME!!!
I returned from a few days of training and the box of gear was waiting for me! (Felt like a kid on Christmas morning!!)

While I was gone this last week TM2 called and said it could be 30 more days before they can send my money. I was pi**ed until just a couple hours later I got a call from home to tell me what had come in the mail from FreeAgent. (perfect timing)

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Eric, I'd really like to meet you sometime. My older brother is a chief in the navy, and is stationed up in Seattle. When I come up to visit him next time, I'd love to pick you up a round of beers. :). I'm stationed down at mtn home AFB, in Idaho. Not too far away!

Take care, and thank you for the kind words towards my job. I sure appreciate it.

-Matt
