jkno Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Really fantastic. Great job guys!! She seems so happy Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Great job everyone, Katie looks so happy, well done to everyone that has helped in any way, troopers helping troopers, you have my unquestioned loyalty Quote
Toddo[TK] Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Let's make sure to encourage Katie's folks to apply to the Galactic Academy. I'll approve her immediately upon receiving the application. Newrecruits@galacticacademy.com Quote
Fleetfang[TK] Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 It was a long, hard road filled with drama and suspense, but we were able to pull this off in only about five weeks from when Carrie first contacted Dean Plantamura and me about it. Just absolutely fantastic work, troopers. Enormous thanks go to the other Build Team members who answered the call to action and were so willing to trim, glue, rivet, velcro, and snap together a dream for this little girl. We couldn't have found a more energized group of stormtroopers to do this, and I'm so glad that when the call was put out, that each one of you brought every ounce of your passion and talent to the project. I count myself lucky to been able to trim a few pieces and finish the boots; I just wish that I could have helped more. To each and every member of the FISD who gave their time, money, materials and encouragement to make this happen, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Todd, I'll send Carrie a reminder about the Galactic Academy and send her the email you provided. I'll also make sure that absolutely any time that Katie wants to troop with us, she is more than welcome to armor up! Quote
TK 6527 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 you guys did an awesome job! it was a pleasure donating funds to help katie get her new TK! she looks awesome in it too!! Quote
Mogwai[TK] Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 That is so cool! Amazin. Great Job, She looks great in her TK! Quote
jnnfr72[TK] Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks for sharing all the pictures and Carrie's blog. I liked reading how her armor was presented and how it will be passed on to more kids! That was quite awesome. I'm so glad Katie is as excited to armor-up as the rest of us. Great job everybody!

flashpoint0214[TK] Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 That is so awsome! She looks so happy. That is enough to choke you up a little. Thank you for sharing these with us. Quote
boomshakra[TK] Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Seeing my name in the lid made me feel really proud too. Glad to have played even such a small part in this project, well done to all of you for making it happen and doing such an awesome job. Si. Ditto - humbled and proud to have my name on her bin as well. Great job, troopers! Quote

I don't think she could have had a bigger smile if she wanted to. I love being part of this organization because the joy you can see in her is really what it's all about. I have shared this I don't even know how many times on facebook, the FLG, and I don't know how many other places. Quote
Laspector[TK] Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 I am at work right now and I've just spent almost an hour reading this entire thread. I had to close the door to my office as I have been crying like a baby reading all this. I have to say, this is one of the coolest threads I have ever read...I just don't have the words to express how awesome it is. You guys are simply the best. Okay, I've got to go wash up now, clean my face off and get back to work. Great job!!!! Quote
James[501st] Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) The Georgia Garrison is buckets off for all of you that made this happen. Great work folks! --------------- Edited March 15, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote

Its so great what you did; thank you again! I'm glad and proud to be part of the 501st. And to see Katie dressed as a TK, awesome! Edited October 30, 2012 by JimCem99 Quote

svache[501st] Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 Very nice! I also like the fact that the armor will be passed on through Make-A-Wish, that's even better. Glad to be a part of this, and it's awesome to have seen my name in the lid Quote

God Bless Katie, be who u want to be!!!!! ....I'm not sure but I think an adult flexing muscle on minors might get you in some trouble? Lol Kidding, the sentiment is clear that you'd be looking out for her. I think seeing 25+ Stormtroopers holding an assembly at Katie's school to talk about anti-bullying would a more fun approach.
