> I cannot thank you enough for all that you did for us on Sunday. The support that you and Mr. Landry gave meant more than you can imagine to our Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Airshow Performers. You provided a much needed and greatly appreciated break from the norm of a cold sandwich and chips. Your efforts in preparing this HOT meal was nothing less than Herculean, working on 3 hours of sleep and driving over 2 hours to get here. Thank you very much.
> The 2 Sailors I sent over, AC3 Peters (female) and AC3 Graeber, both made comments on how much they enjoyed themselves working with you. They are 2 of my squared away Sailors and I enjoy hearing from others how valuable of an asset they are.
> I will definitely stop in on my way through Lafayette whether going to or coming from Texas and say hello. It was a pleasure to have met you and work with you and feeding some cold and tired warriors. Thank you again and if there is anything I can do for you in the future please do not hesitate to give me a call.
