"Great
blurb for the MASH event — most folks don't grasp what a huge
difference even little things make to troops overseas. When i was in
Vietnam, even the tiniest "care package" would make my week! It meant
someone back home remembered i existed and gave me the will to go on. Once
again, Laurie, let me express my huge appreciation for all you do to further the
live music cause!"
