Happy 4th of July!

I receive many emails that are directed to Vince. I always write back saying that I have no way of contacting him and that they should to try writing to the fan mail address. However, this week I received this note and thought it was nice, so I emailed the writer to ask permission to post his letter on the website. Maybe Vince will see it, maybe not. But I thought it was an appropriate entry for this weekend, being the 4th and all. And it has been exactly one year since Vince visited our troops in the Middle East. So happy Independence Day! And thanks to all of our troops for doing the difficult job that they do.

Hey,

Just wanted to give Vince a big thanks for taking the time to come to Afghanistan. What a cool thing to do. He traveled to some dangerous places, where few ever venture to. Most celebs hang out where their plane lands, but Vince surprised many of us when he showed up to remote areas and show his support for the troops on the ground. That, my friends is what it is all about. We are in this together. Vince if this ever makes it to you, thanks man.

P.S. You still having that party at your place?

Nick

Vince,
I was the Operations Officer for the C-130s that transported you around Afghanistan. I remember you showing up, completely fatigued and still standing for about 4 hours to sign all of our autographs. You also made time to give each person extra attention. Thanks for the movie. That meant a lot to all that were there. You were a high point in a stressful place. I'll remember that the rest of my life. My wife loved the picture. Thank you.
Bill
