Sir,

I just want to say thank you for all of your help with our problem here in Iraq. It is very comforting to know that we have people who care about us whether they think us being here is right or wrong. I appreciate your timely response. I am attaching a picture and a letter I have written to all of the people who have supported us while we have been here. You will get to know myself and my Marines after reading the letter so I wanted to put a face with a name. I believe in being personal and know who is helping me out.

I will tell you that the elliptical has been with us for about three months and I can't tell you how long it was here with the unit before. The average use per day is approximately 30 Marines for at least 30 minutes per session. That is a good piece of gear and I will be looking at buying one for my home upon my return to the states. If there is any way you could help me out with that I would appreciate it also. If there is anything we can do for you, DO NOT HESITATE to ASK.

The internal parts seem to still be in good shape. The electrical part is still working properly as well. That machine is a great piece of gear. If you send us a banner I will be happy to take a picture with the Marines and your elliptical trainer and e-mail back to you or what ever you need from us let us know.

I will be attaching some other photos of the Machine and some of our
Marines so you can better tell what we need. Please send me a physical address as I already have a couple of things to send you once I have the opportunity to mail something back to the states. Sir, once again I cannot tell you how proud I am to serve a great country with such great Americans as yourself.

Thank YOU!!

Robert
