Dear Master Smith & Master Carolyn, You travelled over 100 miles to volunteer your time to train our soldiers assigned to the United States army reserves 331 first minimal care detachment in Miami FL. I cannot begin to express the gratitude from our soldiers you and Master Penn gave hands on combative training for soldiers that may be encountered in real life or death scenarios in combat today. Any soldier deployed for operation enduring freedom, or any military deployment would greatly benefit taking classes from you. The reality of war is present and if confronted soldiers taking your classes will know how to protect themselves and save others using only their hands. Most Americans, although patriotic may sit back and not become engaged. You and Master Penn have gone beyond the call of patriotism and have taken it upon yourself to teach your expertise to soldiers who would otherwise not have had this intense course taught to them, even on active-duty status. Rest assured, what you have taught them can in fact save their lives and lives of other military members if faced with the enemy using only their hands. We are extremely grateful to you for taking the time to help protect our troops. Respectfully,
