    Ronnie,
    Just read the article in Farm Journal. Could not pass up the opportunity to say to you and all others with you how much I appreciate what you do, that you will make a difference in the lives of others and to know prayers are said on your behalf daily. Please pass this on to all troops there. Thanks.
