Over the past three years "Driving Sober to Save a life "has been working very hard  to make our drivers aware  of the consequences of driving inpaired.I have told my story to thousands of young adults and their families. In January 2010, I received a phone call from the US Army in Fort Richardson Alaska;asking if I would be interested in coming to  Anchorage and present to our troops. On June 28th to June 30th I did six events and was able to speak to over 2600 troops and civilians. the response was great and I was welcomed with open arms. 

I would also like to thank our troops for all they do, by making us the safest and greatest country in the world. I am so proud of every one in the Military. I am so honored to have personally meet so many of you while in fort Richardson.

Thankyou

Dear Mr. Marcone:

On behalf of the Soldiers of the U.S. Army Fort Richardson Alaska, the DoD Civilian workforce, the ASAP program, and the entire Fort Richardson community, I offer you the highest level of gratitude and appreciation for the Driving While impaired (DWl)Awareness Presentations. The U.S. Army is delighted to be a recipient of your strong compassion to help reduce DWI consequences through your DWI presentations across the United States. The fact that you offered to deliver this and other presentations throughout the United States at no charge gives credence to your understanding,support and humanistic effort to help our community reduce the adverse consequences of DWI .

The attendees reported that the training was a positive eye-opening experience,based on a DWI tragedy that has ongoing repercussions, as experienced by you. Over 95% of the course critiques indicated that the presentation was a positive experience hat increased awareness, inspiration, and/or insight concerning DWl. Over 95% of
course critiques viewed you as authentic, real, and "from the heart" in sharing your experiences as the family member of a DWI driver.

We at Fort Richardson sincerely thank you from the bottom  of our hearts. We fully support your cause and welcome your return to Alaska and Fort Richardson whenever possible.

Sincerely,

Timothy R.Prior
Colonel, US Army
