The following Example has been taken out of IMT viewer so the formatting might be off.  I did not changed mission information, only names to protect myself and the people I have received the information from.  If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so.  If you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these letters has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please treat yourself to something special from one of the ads on the page.  We will both get something out of it.  (All money gathered pays for hosting fees and domain fees.  HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also prompts me to work harder on the site.)

NOTE:

  Good solid package.   Lots of diversity and impact.  The only question is the Magna Cum Laude and Cum Laude graduate comments.  Finally when addressing units use either the number (e.g. 46) or the position (e.g. 46th) but not both.  Uniformity is important.
