Dear Scott and Tammy,

As a veteran I thank you for your kind words!

Although my contribution to my country via the most powerful Navy in the world pales in comparison to those who risked and gave their lives, I am honored and blessed to have served the millions of men and women who make this country the greatest in the world!

God bless all those who have served and continue to to do so, God bless the United States of America and to my fellow shipmates, "fair winds and following seas"!...JT
