That all depends on how many you and all those on ProfessionalSoldiers.com and the Special Forces Association purchase by 6 July 2007.

Yes, as long as those that send them don't mind waiting until they clear first. 
Make them out to "Professional Soldiers".

I've talked about paypal before...... they are NOT mandated to play by BANK or FEDERAL banking rules (the ones that are the guidelines for credit card use)...... They operate as they wish, outside of federal guidelines. Hence, I will not use the services of paypal. I may be walking down the "information dirt road", but I have no fear of an ambush.

Bill,
This is a beautiful knife, but it looks a bit different than the last "Reaper" I saw pictures of here (especially in size). What can you tell us about it?

I can certainly understand your motives, but I think that an online solution (maybe a future addition to PS.com?) for SF related transactions (e.g. flashlights, Leathermans, and raffles) would get more money in the SF piggy bank from those of us less-paper inclined. Also, those overseas.
All of this is IMHO, of course. I'll be sending a check... grudgingly Now, if I can only FIND that dinosaur contraption...

Is there going to be a form in The Drop or the Chapter newsletters? I assume they are not going to mail the tickets out like for the Building Fund raffle.

This I do not know. We are only helping because we can.
If you have any questions I'd call the SFA. Mel knows about professionalsoldiers.com and he knows me.
