Subject: Thank you from Kuwait!

Good evening to all.

I am an Active Duty Soldier currently on a 15 month deployment to Kuwait. I signed my unit and myself up for boxes on one of the support sites and received a DVD entitled JERICHO: SEASON 2. I am taking this opportunity to personally thank Carol Barbee, Dan Shotz, Karim Zreik, Jon Steinberg, John Peter Kousakis, Steve Scaia, Matt Federman and Robert Levine. America is the greatest country in the world, but many Americans support us by word of mouth. You all collectively passed on making an extra buck and provided some relief for Servicemembers world wide by providing some entertainment from home. My Soldiers love the DVD and I bet so do many other Soldiers.

I thank you and salute you all.

V/R
