Lieutenants in Action Buffalo listener and Bills fan Greetings, and long ashes to you, General. As a listener, cigar smoker and fellow Bills fan, I am sending you a photo of me (center), my father to my left, and family friend to my right, with the Bills Backers group. This was taken at the Bills' 50th. home opener on 9-20-09, to Tampa Bay. A perfect sunny day that could only be sweeter with the Bills 33, and the Buccaneers 20. Hope you enjoy, and I will be listening to you every Saturday. Mike Tonawanda, N.Y. Virginia Division I (Wes Van Pelt) thought you might enjoy this picture I took of myself (right rear in the blue shirt) and my closest friends lighting up around a camp fire on a warm fall night in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Most of us are Bridgewater College students or Alum and getting together once a week for a herf has become a tradition and doing it when camping is a special treat. LONG ASHES If you sent this picture in, please resend the info as to who is pictured. Tell me the name you labeled the picture so I know it is really you! :) KOSOVO FAN CLUB Left to Right: LTC Mark, SGT Ryan, LTC Scott, LTC Steve, MAJ Mitch, MAJ Bruce, MAJ Joe I (Not Pictured MAJ Joe II) Lts Barry & Bart Lt.

Lt. Mike Lt. James sends cigars to troops Letter of thanks sent back to Lt. James: James, Thanks much for the cigars. We handed them out at a New Years celebration that was put on for soldiers who are here for a short term rest and relaxation (R&R). These soldiers, sailors and airman come to Qatar from Iraq and Afghanistan for 4 short days to rest from combat. There really isn't much for them to do here so the morale, welfare and recreation (MWR) folks plan events for them both on and off the base. These events range from USO shows to shopping trips into the city, when security allows. The New Years party was one of those events. Food is provided and each servicember is allowed 3 beers. I can tell you your cigars were a real hit and they went fast. The cigars definitely contributed to the success of this (or should I say last) years New Year's Eve celebration and it was certainly my honor to deliver them for you. I've attached some pictures for your use. I'm sorry there aren't more, but picture taking on base is usually not allowed. We did, however, receive permission to take these. Again, thank you not only for the cigars, but more importantly your support to these great young troops. Respectfully, Col. Steve (US Army) Lt. Tim (far left) from The Citadel These Pictures are of the 2008 Seniors from the Alpha Company at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. Enjoying some good smokes at the end of "Hell Week." We Had just finished training the incoming freshmen (knobs) and we needed to chill out. The Marine Corps and The Citadel thank the General for all his support and efforts. Lt. Tim Lt. Warren tailgating at Notre Dame Lt. Chuck's wife winning a "Long Ash" contest I'm blues singer/songwriter Chuck Adkins. You played my tune "CIGAR MAN" on your show. Myself and friends at the East County Cigar Club in Portland went to the 2nd annual SmokeEasy at the Lucky Eagle Casino in Rochester, WA last Sept. 29. Over 300 cigar lovers got to sample various cigars, won prises like humidors and 2 trips for two to Honduras. Here are two photos of my wife of 39 years (we went to the senior prom together). SHE WON THE LONG ASH CONTEST . All I can say is, WHAT A WOMAN! We meet at Cascade Cigar & Tobaco and all listen to your show. Long ashes and a salute to you, Chuck Adkins Lt. Chris Juhl (l) & friend Eric Olsen (r) Picture was taken at my family's cabin on Lake Vermilion in northern Minnesota. Picture was taken February 4th of 2007, but what is hard to tell is that it was -50*. I had to put the camera on my truck (which wouldn't start naturally) because nobody would come out of the cabin and take our picture. I have supplied the weather information from that day to somewhat prove it, however the information is from Cook, MN and not near the lake where it gets much cooler. Lt.
