Band of Brothers - The Poster Project funds "GallantFew"

[Kadnine]

I'm jumping on this this. I want that poster.

In 2001 Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks told the true story of how the men of Easy Company helped save the world in the HBO miniseries, Band of Brothers. Now veterans of Easy Company, the actors that portrayed them, Spielberg and Hanks have teamed up for one more fight to help the latest generation of American heroes by signing a one of a kind copy of the Band of Brothers theatrical poster. Beginning June 6th, it will be auctioned on eBay and all proceeds will go to GallantFew.

Bidding for the signed poster starts on e-Bay in 48 hours. I'm sure to be outbid. but I plan to donate my bid amount to GallantFew anyway. They look to be a class operation. Should you feel the same? Consider it.

(I can't believe this YouTube promotional vid only has 900 views! Spread the word?)

Yeah, I would say it's going to be out of my price range in 0.00034 seconds. Give or take 0.0002 seconds or so.

Thanks for the heads up. Will be out of my range pretty quick, but would be fun to bid just to be part of it. Will make a donation directly, regardless.

Aaaaaaaaannnnnnndd.... I'v'e been outbid. Current bid as of right now is $3250.

Looks like I'll just be straight throwing some minor cash toward Gallant Few. No poster for me. We Kadnines aren't exactly poor? But we ain't exactly rich neither. Bidding closes in 8 days, 9 hrs for anyone more well-heeled than I.

And DO consider a separate donation to GF. They help vets leaving the service find work, education, and if needed, help with the stress of prior service for an easier transition to civilian life. Basically all the stuff former vets had to figure out on their own and without such a support system. Their ultimate goal is to reduce if not outright *END* the suicide rate of returning veterans. They do good work.... AND yer contribution is tax deductible!
