[Vision2020] Friday Fireworks

[Matt Decker]

Nick,

The great thing about your and my job is we can quit. If you don't think you make enough than quit. I doubt our wounded soldiers can do that.

So again I would rather donate my meager earnings to our troops than to the "highly underpaid" staff.

Matt
