It really is a team effort.

I was very pleased with their effort.

A lot of very cool items came in. It was a tremendous effort. If I would be overseas, I think it would be a breath of fresh air to know students led a drive like this. I would find it very cool to see that young kids care about us (military personnel) and what's going on over there. The staff really got behind it, too. Just like me, they commended the students, especially the student council for leading the project.

I felt really good, really relaxed. I made an effort to clear my mind.

It takes less effort to keep an old customer satisfied than to get a new customer interested

I'm more encouraged because of the effort of the ordinary guys - the fans - to get this done. I have a heightened optimism that we're going to get something accomplished.
