<p class=MsoNormal>Somehow I knew it wouldn’t take long. You folks
are terrific!! We’ve already had a volunteer step up to be our point
man for the parade and he’s been given the contact information for the
Soldier’s Angels people. His name is Jake Jakubowski. I know
we’ll be hearing back from them soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Stay tuned for the parade staging details and let’s go
and have a good time, show the people who the PGR is and enjoy the day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On this day of Thanksgiving, one of the many things I have
to be thankful for is you, the men, women and children of the PGR. Each
of you are very special individuals. Your actions come from a devotion
and dedication that is generated from deep within. You are steadfast,
caring and strong and at the same time good natured, friendly and willing to
donate your time and personal resources, not only to the mission but to your PGR
compatriots when necessary. As individuals you are wonderful. As a
group you are impressive, formidable and provide a feeling of great pride and
patriotism, not to mention great comfort to the families we serve. I am
thankful this and every day that you are who you are and that you have banded together
for such a great cause. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
