Hello Gwen,
It was a pleasure meeting you in person last Friday, May 6th, at the Carlisle Fire Company. Unfortunately things were rather busy during the Salute to the Greatest Generation which prevented us from chatting longer.
I want to express thanks to you on behalf of myself, Glenn Watson and the other members of the Delaware National Guard Retired Officer's Association (DNGROA) for your coverage of the Carlisle Fire Company May 6, 2011 event honoring the Greatest Generation. Your efforts are responsible for such a well attended and successful day. It was wonderful to have approximately 30 WWII veterans in attendance plus many of their families and others. Milford's Wilkins family as well as Mr Giambrone and family of Norristown, PA were quite proud and moved.
Our collective view is that you made an important and clear difference in the effort of honoring our World War II veterans. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Tom
