It was an incredible honor, one that I will never forget.

This does not change what we will do at all. We have always tailored what we will do to their requests.

It's an honor to participate in this. We never forget who really does the heavy lifting.

My nights and weekends are nearly all spent on the troops.

Like most people, I have mixed feelings about the war. But what I don't have mixed feelings about is supporting the troops and making sure they have the support and encouragement they need from people back home. And that's what Operation Troop Appreciation is all about.

I think that's higher than nearly any other charity, even the United Way, which is thought do quite well.
