Wow, thank you all for the kind words! I can't express how much that means to me. I love this community, and all the contributors that have been a part of it over the last decade plus that I've been a part of it have helped to really make it how great it is. Without all the great members here, I'd have nothing to say, so thank you all from very deep within my heart!

Patrick, thank you for bringing me on staff 10 years ago. Thank you for taking the chance and believing in me, and being patient with me. I am forever grateful.

I want to thank all the present and past staff members that I've had the privilege to work with here, as well. You guys are a great team, and you all do such a fantastic job!

I can't express enough the gratitude I feel in receiving the physical reward, too! I want you to know that I'm out of town for the week, actually at a Krav police instructor course recertifying for DT, so I have to wait until Friday to see it!

Thank you, thank you all, so very much.

That's really nice of you to say, Brian. It's very touching. Thank you.

Thank you, as well, to everyone who took the time to reply to this thread.

As Brian has now seen the award, I wanted to go ahead and include a photo here as I said I would:



Thanks,

Patrick
