Soccer Equipment needed
In addition to our Marines deployed in the sandbox, there are also a sizable number of leathernecks deployed to Djibouti in the Horn of Africa region. During their off duty hours, they play on a base soccer team combining all of the branches of service. Some of the African teams they play against have very little soccer equipment. As a matter of fact, one player played barefoot. On behalf of these extraordinary African athletes, and those service members who call them friends, Major Larson, from the 6th ESB out of Portland, OR, is asking for contributions in the form of soccer equipment, such as soccer balls, soccer shoes, and shin guards. Major Larson will personally ensure the equipment makes it in the hands of these underprivileged but extremely talented athletes.
Please send donations to:

An FYI- I just sent a request to the coach at our high school to see if they would consider making this known throughout the school, and to accept donations of equipment for the cause. I'll let you know what I hear!

Fabulous David Beckham. David Beckham to get started in steamy Super Bowl advertisement, nude, crowned sexiest dude on the earth. I am just informed David strips down and also showcases his body for brand spanking new multi high dollar Super Bowl XLVI ad. Bodywear and underwear collaboration vs Tim Tebow for H&M. David Beckham actually confirms - of course - "I Love Underwear’ :-) Get your soccer equipment at soccer.com, gift cards, 20% to 50%, free shipping Valentine deals... http://goo.gl/adpVy
