Hay, John!  Good to make your aquaintance!  I am deeply touched by the fact that you gave so much of yourself for home and family.  I served, but you are the real hero here. I am glad you sent the address to me and I sent you a freind request.  I have a couple of nice little electric slider boxes here, and if you look at my page, (Arroyo Dawg), you will see the "Sarge" that I just sent to Sgt. Allan Harry, I am proud of him, you and all my bretheren veterans, it is a deep bond.  I will get one of my cool 3 or 4 string sliders together and send it to you......who knows, you might end up with a bunch of guitars of all kinds from the Nation builders!  I will send you some pics of a couple, pick one out, and I will get it on the way, or I can build, you just name it buddy!

 

Let's be in touch,  Kevin  ( Arroyo Dawg)
