    This year I’ve had to remove a couple of people from the list, for some of the saddest of reasons, but I also got to add some people who have never been here before.

    So for those of you new, or with long term memories on par with mine, April 20th marks the anniversary of the day I got back from Desert Storm, and every year I like to send out a little note thanking all those who have touched my world in some way for being there and adding something to my life. 

    I keep in touch with all of you far less than you deserve, but I thank you for being there now and as you have been. 

    You rock.

    So as usual, for those of you who don’t know, April 20th marks the anniversary of my return from Desert Storm, now 23 years in the past.  Every April 20th since I’ve taken some time to force myself to stop and appreciate all the many, many people – far more than I deserve – who have guided, helped, supported, or just in some way been there at some point in my life.

    With that in mind, I sincerely and deeply thank you for being in my world and whatever you’ve done to make it a little (or in some cases a lot) better for me.

    Prost/Cheers/Sláinte/Salud

  • Kickstarter Success!

    We did it! We cleared $15,000! Cue the theme to Rocky!

  • Our Kickstarter Campaign Has Begun

    Our Kickstarter campaign to get the film distributed is officially underway! The deal is we’ve shot the film, we’ve edited the film, we’ve shown the film in very limited screenings, but we don’t own the music rights to distribute the film.

    Lots of people like this film, and many people want copies (including several of the soldiers in the film). But music rights are really, really expensive. We’ve edited out as much music as we could, and the songs left over we believe are integral to the story and it would suffer without them.

    We’ve had to sit on this for years and just want to get it out to the world. At $15,000, your contributions will allow us to pay for the music rights for all the music used in the film. Our stretch goal of $25,000 will also allow us to hire someone to help us with distribution.

    Thank you in advance, and please take a moment to read more about the film.

    Hello all.

    There are some new names on the list this year, so for those of you who have never gotten one of these, today marks the 22nd anniversary of the day I got back from Desert Storm.  I take this day, every year to try to thank all the friends and family who have been a significant part of my life, which you have. 

    I get nervous this time of year, reading and re-reading over the list of emails, worrying that I’ve left someone out, which I inevitably do.  I even included Alwynne this time, even though she doesn’t really know how to check email yet. 

    I say to you now though, that of all the ways I’ve been lucky in my life, and there have been many, I am most fortunate with those people who have entered my life. 

    So, I thank you again.

    Happy April 20th
