Thanks so much to all of you who helped make the visit by the delegation from Israel’s National Defense College to Chicago such a tremendous success! They expressed great admiration and appreciation for the work you all do, as well as the time you were willing to take out of your busy schedules to meet with the group.

 

On behalf of the Consulate, I would also like to express my appreciation for the great cooperation that DCG Itay Milner and I received from all of you in making this visit happen.

 

Individual letters of appreciation to follow.
