Thanks everyone. I can't tell you how much this means.
I've been thinking of being in the 501st for a few years and as you all know time flies. So over a year ago I decided to make the plunge. I took my family to one of the Toyman Shows because I saw that the 501st was going to be there. We loaded up the family truck-ster and headed out one bright Sunday morning.
There I went and introduced myself to Eric Wickes. I'm sure Eric doesn't remember me because I was just another face in the crowd. Well Eric is a very nice person and took the time to explain to me what it takes and where to go online to get more information, So I guess you can blame him..........No really thank you Eric for taking the time to answer a few questions. My family had the opportunity to get some pictures with some of the TKs that were there that day also.
(It was and still is a big deal for a 5 and 7 year old child at the time, they still remember)
Well once again thank you all, it means a lot to myself and my family, and I'm looking forward to hopefully giving a little back.
I salute you all, and remember sometimes it is just the littlest of things can mean the most.
Congratulations again! You did a fantastic job with the TX! Now go out there and do your part for the Empire! I can hardly wait until I can join you and the 70th Explorers as a full member of the 501st (waiting on some armor pieces still...)
