One. We've finished and uploaded out interview with Steve and the link is here:
Two. Over the weekend, I (Emily) went with Briton to sell our delicious gummy soldiers during the Corona del Mar Christmas walk. We sold all our inventory except for one bag, and we now have a solid amount of money to donate to wounded warriors and to back our project with.
Three. We filmed yet another interview today with Alaina's grandfather Lloyd. It was an emotional interview, and I highly recommend that you watch it. Stay posted for that video, it should be up soon.
Four. We got a call back from our prospective paintball park and they've agreed to call us tomorrow so we can figure out the details of our event. We're very excited to be working with them, and hopefully everything will go smoothly tomorrow!
Anyways, all of us are incredibly happy with what we've accomplished today. It seems that everything we originally set out to do is finally falling into place. We're excited to have money to donate to veteran aid organizations, and we love filming these interviews and hearing stories from our amazing veterans. We owe it to our vets to give them aid when they come home because of all that they've given up to protect us and protect our country.
To all the veterans out there, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. After hearing all the stories, we can't thank you enough for what you've done. Operation SPLAT is proud to serve our troops, and proud to serve our country.
Great day, SPLAT! We're excited about the potential for you to hold your event at the base in March. Keep us posted on that! Sounds like the interview with Alaina's grandfather was a success! Looking forward to watching it! Once you get the go ahead for your paintball day, you'll need to start promoting it. Have you talked at all about how you might generate some excitement for it? Would be very cool if you could show a couple of short clips from your interviews at a town meeting.
