Phil,

     I just wanted to take some time to thank you and your brothers for putting together a terrific day for myself and my Marines.  All had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know your group better, as well as some alone time to shoot, fish, and reflect.

     I personally had a great time with my dog, and fellow friends.  I would love to do something like this on an annual or semiannual basis.  I think it is a great opportunity for our guys to enjoy the great  outdoors without having to be so far from home.

     Could you also pass this on to Don, as I do not have his email  address, or just respond with it, and I will write him personally to  thank him for his hospitality and time.

     Lastly, there was a gentleman there with a camera, and I am not   sure of what his name is, but I would certainly appreciate receiving the pictures he developed in an email, as HQMC would really enjoy them and frankly it would for them to see them, to understand what something like this does for our guys.

     Thanks again for everything, and I look forward to seeing you at   the Nov. luncheon.

    Semper Fidelis,

    Tony
