				I appreciate you taking the time to let us hear from you.  My son was deployed in Kuwait and Iraq from Dec 05 through Sep 06 and I know it was sometimes difficult for him to find the time to locate a computer or phone and contact us but we tried to keep him in touch with home as much as we could.  Be proud to do the same for you 

   As much as it sounds like we got some folks who don't do anything but haul fish into the boat, BUT having fished around em.... they miss one every now and then 

   We'll do what we can to protect the resource while your taken care o bidness over there.  

  Stay Safe.
Best Regards
Sir Reel.

				Thank you for your service to this Great country of ours!  I was going to offer you a fishing trip but you would have better luck going with JT. He actually catches fish, I just go fishing. However, if you ever need a ride give me a hollar.

				Its hard to know I am fishing when my fellow Americans are in harms way, makes you really appreciate what you fellas are doing for us, I can't really say how much we appreciate your service and sacrifice, and to help a little if I can I would like to send you some magazines.  I have a TON of back issue fishing magazines including Forida Sportsman, Shallow Water Angler, GAFF, etc.. I would like to box them up and send them to your base so you guys have something to read.  If this is possible let me know where and how to send them to you.  If anyone else has any to add let me know and maybe I can get them all together to mail.  Also, if you or your fellow soldiers need anything else that I can include let me know.  Again, thanks for your service.  Its men like you that give us the freedom to fish and enjoy our lives and family without fear.

				Colonel, I echo what everyone else has said. We appreciate your sacrifice and feel for you for all that you go through... We hear a lot of the negatives through the media here but know there's so many positives that take place that are never reported..I imagine if you'll let the word out when you come home on leave you can find a lot of people on here that would appreciate the opportunity to share a day in the boat with you..I know I would.. All of us extend our prayers to you and your fellow servicemen..God Bless !
