Thanks to you and your team and the generous publishing of the Lara Phillips story in the March issue, Lara is getting a steady stream of email and notes to her Web site: caringbridge.org. Her mom is just bowled over by the military support coming from your publication and states that Lara is in "awe" of the response.

If you ever wonder, like I often do, if what we do makes a difference, give yourself a moment to look over some of those notes and journal entries at www.caringbridge.org/visit/laraphillips-you won't wonder as much.

Very respectfully and with much gratitude,

Capt. Jay Ostrich
