Just wanted to say a BIG Thank You to Charlie, Beth, Ronnie, Ian, Don, Mark, and Many more that work so very hard all year for this AMAZING event. You guys work your asses off for this and I along with everyone else appreciate it so very much. It is so great so see so many different people come together for such a great cause and to see and here how much money gets raised for these brave men and women that risked it all for our country! Thank you guys truly!
Being still so new to CP and meeting most of you for only the second or third time in person I am blown away at how well everyone comes together in a group as a Family. To all the CP members that have never met another member in person you really have know Idea who they really are till that day comes. I feel like I have known some of you for many years and its just another BBQ hangout. I can't express how overwhelming it is to see and be part of the none stop generosity that goes on between all the CP'ers I have had the pleasure of meeting. It truly feels great to be part of such a great community of friends and I am glad to call you all my friends just as long as that short Italian Yankee lover stops kissing everyone... We still love you Gary!
Big props to each and everyone that took a rip of the moonshine jar I brought I tip my cap to you and bow to some of you. My wife is very happy that is off the bar...LOL! Big thanks to Dave (thechenman) his 2 buddies, Joe (Joebunga), Lee (Slick300) for introducing me to so many new brews! Also a big thanks to Kris (Light This!) for bringing so many bottles to share one of which was an amazing Purto Rican Moonshine that tasted like fruit juice. Thank you all for getting me drunk for the first time Saturday before lunch was even served. A couple of those beers kicked my ass!
When it comes to cigar exchanges or personal hand offs I can't even express my gratitude fully in a typed post on the forum. Quite a few of you knocked my socks off this year and I truly thank you once again! Dave (thechenman), Jesus (MoBig), Joe (Joebunga), Jim (Nashkicker), Anthony (Tone-NY), Clint (MoeCizlak... and so many more I sorry if i forgot you! Thank you VERY MUCH!
