SF remembrance Chip for gravesite visits

There was a discussion in SF Brothers about developing a decent quality "poker chip" that people could lead at thegravesite of a brother after a visit.

We developed these and will sent a decent amount to the Green Beret Foundation So they could put them on their website and offer them to the general public as a fundraising opportunity in addition to fulfilling the demand asked for by the brothers.

These are priced extremely low so people can acquire them. They come in five to a pack and will $5 For each pack of 5.

The first run we did was offered to SF Brothers only and we ran out in the first day. We got a re-supply of 2000 and have already had to order again, so get your order in sooner rather than later.

Here's the link:

Thanks very much; great idea. I submitted my email address to be notified when they come back in. Was going to visit the resting place of a good friend who passed a few years ago (right before we could get his ham station & him back on the air). [VN-era 5th Group if I recall correctly, Jim Robertson.] Leaving one of these would be nice and I know his wife would appreciate.

Reminder for folks from the shameless marketing department, as Christmas season approaches. Do your Amazon shopping using a smile.amazon.com account. Your same credentials get you in, but you can designate a charity to have Bezos throw a few shekels at and Green Beret Foundation is one of those that can be specified.

The GBF will have the new resupply in the next day or two so if you've been waiting on that, you can now order.

Wonderful idea.

My cousins and I plan to attend a family member’s service at Arlington in 2020...any 10th Group remembrance chips?

We’d need 5.
