We understand it is his perogative to offer a very generous gift...but we really shouldn't except it b/c I feel that anyone that has served has done plenty for us and we can at least do something he has requested just b/c we want to help him out without a pyament, right...am I crazy for feeling like this?

Post this for him with no expectations of a free "gift" and do it out of heart. It is the least someone could do. If I could post the clip I would and refuse his offer. It is an extremely kind gesture on his part, but that is how much this means to him.

Yea, but there are always some greedy @ss bastard!

I searched the Oprah website, couldn't find it. I emailed them about it though. Someone get this up there and refuse that gift.

I am the one that they interviewed on camera, My friend Tristan is the one that is on the stage with Oprah, Tristan went on the show because they were following up on his injuries from Iraq, He got hit with a grenade, I was next to him when it happened and I was the one that dragged him off. When they interviewed me it was the day that I bought my car, so they did the interview of me leaning up against my EVO IX MR. They did all types of shots, They even got me launching my EVO, driving off down the street. If you guys get a chance you should check it out. I will make you guys a deal, The first person to post that video on here, I will personally buy you something for your EVO. A limit of lets say 400 dollars. I promise it will be done. The first person to post it will get a PM from me, and all you have to do is PM me and let me know what you want for your EVO, Remember 400 dollar limit. I will purchase what you want online and have it shipped to your address. Thanks guys
I will see if I can record it and post something up for you. There are a couple of problems with me doing it though.
1. I have leave work and set up my tivo to record it.
2. After I record it, i don't have a way to get it to a mpeg
3. I think I could record it onto a vhs or DV and if I could, I could bring it into AVID which I happen to have and digitize it for you.

I am not really concerned about the $$. It is a nice incentive and I / we could really use the nice parts, but it's cool. You probably helped saved lives over there no matter what you did for our country. Let me see what I can do, though No promises.

Quick question. Would there be a copyright infringement here to posting up that video without Harpo productions okay?
