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:

   Some capitalization issues.  Suggest limiting the number of sub-bullets to one or two.  The package doesn't need CCNA, since it is out used again in the package.  There was only one numbering issue, but it looks like it could of been caused by a spacing issue.  The most significate issue was the Decoration Comment.  I may be wrong but those do not belong in an award package.  Information in the citation is fine, but the actually Dec comments is bad.
