Hey guys,
I really need some help. I have this paper(interview project) due
tommarrow for American History. This project is going to determine
whether I pass or fail this class. I have been really busy doing other
things over the past week and weekend. Anyways, if any Veterans on this
site would like to complete this interview and send me the questions
and answers, I would appreciate it so much. I would even send you some
money over paypal if that would strike some interest.
My email is kane_schutzman
