To All:  Just a note of thanks and appreciation for each of you taking the time to meet us at the airport on Monday. It was an awesome experience to see so many people who supported my family and me.  I was humbled by the reception and I hope that I am able to always convey it in my daily activities. Your friendship and support for Marilyn while I was away will always be remembered and appreciated.  She was my strength ...and I know she got hers from all of you.  My only regret from Monday is that I assumed everyone knew my children...and I was remiss in not introducing them to you.  My oldest son is Jeff, my middle is Jeremy...and his wife Kelly and my daughter is Carrie...and her boyfriend Matt.  I was honored to serve our country, assist the Army and Marines....and to have all of you as friends.  Sincerely, John
