Men, the time has come for me to hand off my role as a troop supporter to one of CA's finest, hotreds. Hugh and I have been talking about this and he has agreed to carry on our wonderful tradition. I have transferred your troop support donations to Hugh along with our contacts in the sandbox.
Over the years you have been responsible for thousands and thousands and yes, thousands of cigars shipped to our men and women in harms way. This doesn't count the hundreds of pounds of comfort items and your support of our Holiday programs, contests, raffles, auctions, and fund raisers.
It has been my honor, indeed my privilege, to have met so many of you and befriend countless others here on CA. There is no way I can remember everyone who has supported our troops with your generous donations. So to each of you I say, God bless you and thank you.
Hugh has earned my respect and admiration with his unrelenting support of our troops. I know he will take this effort to the next level. Please welcome a true BOTL and my friend Hugh, "hotreds".
Fred
