"The initiative and focused support provided by you and Spirit of America are beyond anything we have experienced ... In an imperfect world with our Sailors and Marines going in harm’s way, your gifts will reduce adversarial relationships and bridge cultural gaps. You have significantly impacted our ability to do good and, I fervently hope, reduce the potential for combat."
