Call to Arms
Chief Wiggles: We need your help!!!!
Last summer, when my little group of Marine Corps Moms needed a way to move 5,000 lbs. of school supplies from Kuwait to An Najaf, the Chief stood ready to help us. We found another solution but I'll never forget his willingness to help. Now, he needs a favor. Via Greyhawk:
We are having a problem . . . (snip - full text at Chief Wiggle's site)You know what to do. Please do it.
UPDATE
I just talked with Brian Blish from Atlas Lines and he has advised me that the problem is resolved. Evidently, shipping containers which go to Kuwait via this particular freight line have been co-opted by local folks, and turned into homes. To protect their investment, the company requires a $10,000 deposit per container. Through a series of misfortunes (employees leaving the company, personal tragedies, the bank requiring a hold on deposited funds) payment was delayed. However, the bank has released funds today, a check has been cut and will go out tonight, and there is a chance that the company on the other end of this will accept the faxed copy of the check to expedite release. Let's hope so.
Thanks, Brian. And condolences on the loss of your father.
