Bennett, Many thanks for all of your efforts to make this train happen. The timing of the story with Christmas is perfect. I certainly appreciate the ground rules that you established. My nephew is in the Marines so I have a good handle on the current situation. That story you shared brought tears to my eyes. All I can say is God Bless you and Merry Christmas. |

Bennett: Speaking as a retired army person with 29-years of service, I want to tell you that I really appreciate what you did for these soldiers, Marines and air force people. It was terrific! Thanks! |

I must admit to getting a little emotional myself. Who says there's not magic in Christmas? |

This is coming a little late , for I just got my computer running again , I think what Mr. Levin did was a very special early Christmas Gift. I have a friend that is station over in Iraq and she writes us e-mails telling us the news from over there. My friend is a Capt. in the US Army. My Father was in the US Army from 1952 - 54 and his two brothers were in the Army too. His Brother Ron was in 1942 -44 WWII. His other brother was in 1954-57 in Korea. I have Uncles datting back to the Cilvil War that served, But I my self never. The only thing I did was become a Eagle Scout in the late 1980`s. Thank you for your caring suport for our troops. God Bless Mr. Levin`s family this Christmas season and through out this New Year. Leonard. |

With a son who recently joined the Navy, I tend to be even more aware of the service of our Armed Forces. It is heartening to see that people show they care. Bennett and his family has orchestrated a wonderful deed for us all. Thank you. Gary Landrio |
