A few months ago *cough* *wheez* we held a contest on the You Served Radio Show to raise money for Soldiers Angels. If raised enough money through our weekly charity auctions, the hosts and producer of the show would all shave their heads publicly at the 2010 Milblog Conference in DC (Troy pre-empted us, obviously knowing that you all would come through). Well, we’ve finally got the video up. It took a great deal of blood, sweat, tears, and hair to get this up as we had to jump through a litany of hoops.
First, the video had to be cleared through the Department of Homeland Security. Intelligence officials wanted to ensure that the Marine Corps tracking beacon implanted in Marcus’ head was not visible after removing his curly locks. Then the video was sent to the IRS to ensure that no back taxes were owed (CJ ended up getting an additional $120 back from THEM!). Next in the hopper, the video was screened by Rod Blagojevich to ascertain as to how much involvement he had in the fundraising. Finally, Speak of the House Nancy Pelosi signed off on the video once she was convinced that there was a provision in Obamacare in case none of the hair grew back. We can’t have bald Marines around against their will.
Anyway, enjoy the video.
