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?

Than you very much for what you did, and thanks for sharing the story. I'm currently Judge of Elections for Penndel Boro, Bucks County, and these people sacrificed so that I could have elections to judge!

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.
