Anyone here like beef jerky?

So for those that know me, I am involved heavily in a U.S. Troop support group locally here in South Jersey. One of my fellow members served in the Marines in the 70's. His son-in-law was shipped over to Iraq a couple of years ago and to keep minds busy and at ease during his deployment, the family started making homemade beef jerky. A few weeks later and the son-in-law sent a note back stating it was the best jerky ever and he and his unit wanted more. So more was made and the response back each time was to send more and more. A long story longer and my friend "Jarhead Jim" has sent over 3000 pounds of "Jim's Jarhead Jerky" to our Men & Women serving in the middle east.
So a lot of these soldiers would send us thank you letters and emails asking how they could buy it. The answer was they couldn't. Well, after hearing too many times that he should sell it and it is the best jerky they have ever had, Jim's Jarhead Jerky is now officially available for sale while he still makes it at home by hand to donate to our troops. Check out the testimonials, photos, and awesome comments from the Troops on Jim's website: http://www.jimsjarheadjerky.com. The bags he has available for sale are made and packaged by a local food company who has matched his recipe and taste to his specs. The Troops will still get the home made stuff.
Any sales Jim makes from his website and from sales in stores will help him further in supporting the Troops. He is going to donate a percentage of sales to local US Troop support groups such as Semper Fido (http://semperfido.org/) and The Yellow Ribbon Club (www.yellowribbonclub.org - a Pearl Jam sponsored non-profit by the way!). If anyone has any questions or has a business where you would be interested in selling Jim's Jarhead Jerky, feel free to PM me as I am helping Jim get it in stores as we continue to send the homemade kind in care packages every week. I can help those big PJ jerky fans as well if they want to try an individual bag if buying a case is not an option.
Thanks for reading my story.

Nice work my friend.
Just heard from Done (DWhite76). He said he is in a world of pain from those who tackled him in the parking lot for a piece or two of the jerky (especially for that 400 pound fella who sat on him). For PJ25, I will make sure to send more bags!
