On the eleventh of July fourteen fortunate members of the Canadian Contingent to the United
States Central Command were invited to participate in the Outback and Pepin Distributing Dinner
Honoring the Coalition Troops who are serving in Operation Enduring Freedom. This letter is
forwarded to express our sincere appreciation for the warm and friendly hospitality that was extended
to our troops.

First and foremost, it has been most encouraging to witness the level of support that United
States military personnel receive from the general public. In this case, your public acknowledgement of
the efforts and sacrifices of the troops in the War Against Terrorism is to be applauded. In the Gulf
region, lives are on the line and in a very tangible way your support and solidarity help all of us deal
with this reality. I know that members of Central Command are very appreciative of your kindness.
You can be assured that we share their sentiment. The venue, food and service were first rate and a
welcome break from the normal routine of mess hall chow and frozen dinners. It was also an ideal
occasion to share an evening of camaraderie with other military contingents.

Please extend our appreciation to all members of Outback and Pepin Distributing who
contributed their time and talents to put on a great event. On behalf of the entire Canadian Contingent
please accept our heartfelt thanks for a wonderful time spent amongst true friends.

C.J. Henneberry
Colonel
On behalf of Commander Canadian Contingent
