Man offering Boomerangs for Baghdad
A Murphy-area man intends to ship about 40 boomerangs to the USO for distribution to U.S. soldiers overseas.
Boomerang enthusiast and manufacturer David Fantone said he expects others from around the country to contribute - six boomerangs here, 10 there, maybe 100 total.
The contraptions might help soldiers, airmen and sailors overcome boredom, Fantone figures.
"They say the boredom is unbelievable,
Fantone, 54, said he got the idea about the donations, and then posted an online message on a boomerang talk group on Yahoo.com, seeking contributions.
He contacted the USO - United Services Organizations - in Washington, D.C., which agreed to distribute the boomerangs.
About half of his donations include new boomerangs, while the rest are used ones that he has outgrown.
Fantone has taken his boomerangs to Wayne Owen Fighting Arts, so youngsters could write their name and hometown and messages on them.
The boomerangs are easy to carry and can be used indoors as well as aboard ship, Fantone said.
He has dubbed his effort "Boomerangs for Baghdad."
Already I have gotten feed back from the article. a cash donation was placed in my paypals account and will be used to buy more wood to make even more to ship out.
