TK - THANKS FOR EVERYTHING BROTHER

Working with you was great!

Please always remember you have friends here in Israel, and the "all americans" have a warm place in our hearts and are always welcome to train in the holy land.

Lads,

I haven’t been giving you the silent treatment for the last few months, I’ve just been in transition and trying to get some family time in — I promise.

I’m back in the states and getting ready for command, and wanted you guys to know what an outstanding experience I had working with you for the last few years. It was truly an honor and I have immense admiration for the IDF and the State of Israel thanks to you, your diplomacy and friendship.

Keep doing great things, and I look forward to working with you again some day. You can always find me at this email address.

Your brother in arms, TK

Respectfully,

COL Teddy Kleisner
