Press - Letter to Work Vessels For Veterans
John,
I am friends with your sister Nancy who forwarded me the news clip covering the generous gift that you made to a fellow Marine. As a proud member of the "brotherhood" I offer you, on behalf of my entire family of Vets (listed below) our simple thanks and eternal gratitude. We serve because we love our country and every American, not the political machines that send us around the globe. Your selfless act crystalized for me, and I am sure for all that serve, the true meaning of "duty, honor and country."
Semper Fidelis,
Jay Phinney
