Blade Show

[Duane Dwyer]

Thanks to all who helped make the Blade show a success. We had a great time and it was good to see both, new faces and familiar ones.
And before closing, here's a request;
A long time ago when an Armed Forces person would be seen in a public place, especially in uniform, they were treated with respect and appreciation. I have recently seen a little of this behavior again and it makes me VERY pleased. I am sure I am not alone. My request is this, the next time you see someone who is putting it on the line for all of us, be it an Armed Forces person, a Police Officer, a Firefighter or any other person who is in the business of helping out our fellow Americans ... let them know you appreciate it. A drink, a meal or just a simple thanks and a handshake. It makes a difference.
Semper Fi,
Duane Dwyer

Excellent sentiment, Duane.

And many thanks to the Strider team for the unending patience they displayed while constantly being hounded at their table at Blade West (and for still being nice to Tom even though he didn't bring any chocolate covered Macadamia nuts this year).

I was at their table a few times. I would like to thanks Duane & Mick for taking time answering some of my questions & having the customs, Seal 2001, & Mantrack models there. I finally got the opportunity to handle those models.

Duane, I agree 100%..On the way to Blade Show there was a large convoy of guys heading out near March AFB going the opposite direction.. We were honking and waiving at them, thumbs up etc!!
It was great meeting you at the show, my son thought you guys were THE $hit... Thanks for the shirt, and pins and stuff it really made his day..

Take Care
