“I worry about a lot of what I deal with as regards getting Marines the tools and parts they need to do their job and come home safely to their families. I know those Marines. They’re my family and I take my obligations to them very seriously. One thing I don’t worry about is whether Vanair® is doing what they can to give us good gear to make that obligation a reality. I’m very thankful we do business with you because of your commitment. I’d bet many Vanair® folks have folks in the military or have been in the military. If I’m wrong, I’d be very surprised. Just freakin’ outstanding!”
