Alvino Cuevas:

Mr Spiri,
Thank you for showing everyone back home just what these Soldiers in Cco do everyday. As you put it, they are the ones working "behind the curtain" making things happen but never get to share the spot light. Not that they ask for it, but more of allowing everyone else see how hard they work and how much time the commit to their mission here. Great meeting you and I wish you a quick and safe journey back home. Take care!
