Dear Naomi,

THANK YOU!!!!

We now plan to distribute close to 50 scholarships of $500 each to Massachusetts’ service members. Your donation of gift certificates really helped. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all your hard work and your generous donations. The numbers speak for themselves. The proceeds are well over our anticipated goals.

As I said on Veteran’s Day Friday November 11th at the Tribute to the Troops Event at Florian Hall in Dorchester, this event was not about the war, either for or against the war, but rather it was about our Service Members, their families, and their education needs.

Our success cannot be attributed to any one person or organization. It was the combination of many special people - either in a group or individually - working collectively toward a common goal of raising funds for service members and their families for their educational goals. The effort started over 3 months ago and really paid off.

One Service Member, Specialist Brendan J. Murphy of Dorchester (my brother), was able to express his appreciation of all our efforts through a live telephone call from Iraq to a crowd of over 400 hundred during the event. Brendan thanked all for sending packages and supporting our troops away from home. May Brendan and all our service members return home safely.

Thank you again and God Bless our Troops,

Sincerely,

Jimmy Murphy
