We are so glad to hear that Myrle Travers's surgery went well. We know that this first 24 hours is crucial, and we also know how very tough he is.

Troopers should start to receive their dvds and we look forward to reactions to A Cut Above.

Many, many thanks to Wade Gilbert and his company, IAVI, for their continued donations to the good of the cause.

Hi Ben- Just like everyone else that is interested in the "treasured" 517 film, I made a donation , sent it to Leo Dean and asked for a few copies for my father's (Randolph Coleman- F Co) children. How can I confirm that I'm on the list? Thanks for your help. Randy Coleman

It will all be all settled in time.

Dame Vera Lynn who was about the age of most GI's during the war is now 92 . How can that be????

Good afternoon,

With Veteran's Day drawing near veterans will be celebrated and remembered with parades and events around the country. Here in Panama City I decided this would be the year that I would organize my first event honoring our veterans. Our event was titled, A Salute to Veterans which took place yesterday. I have enclosed the brochure on the event which was mainly a focus on WWII and its veterans. I believe it turned out very well and am already looking forward to hosting and organizing next years event.

Wishing all of you the very best in the recognition you so much deserve.

Happy Veterans Day and God Bless!
