A letter from our Gala speaker Navy SEAL Jon Sanchez June 7,2011:
David,
I hope you are doing well and recovering from a long successful weekend! Thank you for your vision of creating such a place. More importantly, THANK YOU for your passion to see it through. I know there was a lot of hard work and effort that went into making the Gala such a success. You made it seem easy. From the Air show to the last guest leaving, it was such a high class event. Congratulations.
I also wanted to thank you for the opportunity to speak on Friday night. It truly was one of the greatest honors to speak with such a group of patriots and heroes. I would especially like to thank you for having my family there. It meant a great deal to my parents. My grandfather, on my father's side, was a WWII vet in the Philippines. My Grandfather, on my mother's side, was a Submariner in the Pacific.
I visited the museum on Thursday to get the layout and talk to the crew. I quickly realized the importance of everything that you are doing. I saw the banners, the new hanger, the aircraft. When I went home I told my wife, "this could be the most important speech I give in my life". I felt that way on Friday night. As you said, when you see these vets come walking in the door, it's hard not be passionate about the museum.
I wish you great continued success in fundraising. Hopefully, you will be outgrowing your 2nd hanger in 5 years.
Your work is so important to America. I look forward to visiting the museum again with my children and cub scout den.
I also look forward to riding in a P-51!!! Can't wait for that.
Please pass my heartfelt thanks to your Board. You guys are incredible.
Very Respectfully,
Jonathan M. Sanchez

the ICAS Convention last week in Las Vegas, Nevada. And he produced this
video to be projected on the screens behind him while he sang. We hope
that you'll share this link widely with friends and family who
appreciate America's aviation legacy and all that our country's airborne
