[Elfsea] Gulf War Gifts

[Stefen and Rhonda Hays]

Will there still be some opportunity to personalize gifts?  I know that in
the past, there were some gifts that included the arms of the individuals.

Is the intent to give the Crowns a gift (with things that they can later use
for larghesse or things that they can use on site) or is it to gift the
person who has given up their life for six or more months?  Or both?

Inquiring minds want to know...
