I just wanted to inform you that we received our books yesterday afternoon.  It was very exciting to open the box, find the various titles held within and realizing that "these books belong to us MALS-16".  We can't thank you and the MCAF enough for this great opportunity.  We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.  Have a great day Sir.

I want to relay my many thanks to everyone at Marine Corps Association

Charlie Dunn were wonderful companions during the trip. It will be a
memory I will cherish all of my remaing days on this earth...
