"Linda and I want to express our sincere appreciation for the kind invitation to attend the 3rd Annual Operation Safety 91 Luncheon on September 29th at the Rosen. The luncheon was truly one of the more significant events we have been privileged to attend in the past few years. Your relentless pursuit of the need to properly recognize and support our 1st Responders is overwhelming to everyone. Linda and I look forward to our continued support of Operation Safety 91 for years to come. Thanks for all your hard work in making the 3rd
