"I wanted to thank everyone in your group for inviting me to speak to you about my experiences in Iraq. I fully enjoyed myself and hope that the information I presented about Iraq was useful to your organization. I was thoroughly impressed with the young adults you have in the organization, their commitment to learning about other cultures, helping Iraqi children and US Servicemen and women is admirable. If there is anything else I can do to help please let me know."
