Glory Holes Sports sends first 'support our troops' shipment

We shipped 12 boxes to Sgt. Rowe and his fellow marines today.  We are sending him a micowave in this shipment.  Many thanks to all who have donated money and items to send.  Keep them coming!  Patrick says they just got the first batch of boxes that we sent.  Hopefully he will be able to send me a picture of the guys enjoying the goodies, so I can share the photo with you.
