I looked at the photo section…its pretty awesome actually. A year ago, I retired from the Rapid City FD after 26 years, I encountered lots and lots of kids in shitty situations. Sometimes something as seemingly small as new new coat, that is brand new, clean and warm can really make a big difference in thier lives. not only keeps em warm, but makes them feel good about themselves and gives em a bit of confidence. Anyway…good job with the coats. one of these times ill win an auction. I forgot about that one ending last night. It went way too cheap. Stay warm.
