Mr. Madden,
Sir, I didn't know you but as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC during the Vietnam War and for your work with the Toys For Tots Program. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
