Bob,
Sure hope the package will make his day and make him grin a bit. I
wrote a cover letter with the logo at the top, stating our cause and
wishing him well while he is in harms way. Thanking him for the courage to
do what his is doing. I put a few photos of some of your guys trucks and
made a page of trucks for him to see. I'm sure it'll get them bowtie juices
flowing....
I made it very clear that the package was from the entire list and I was
just the messenger for it. Maybe some others saw the address and will send
him a big ole Howdy from the good ole US and make him grin even more..
Being in the military myself a "while back", ya just don't know how
meaningful it is just to get a letter or package from anyone back home. So
anyone got a few extra minutes---send him a note as well.. --wayne
