Message to our Fans: I can't say enough of what it means to be part of the whole Cottonwood thing from my end.  You have treated us so well and continue to show up gig after gig as if it were the first time you have ever seen the band.  Your enthusiasm and generosity is never overlooked.  We love and appreciate each and every one of you.  Thanks for making us the luckiest and the most proud band in the Northeast.

Message to our Troops: Although everyone has their own opinion on the war (unlike any other war), my opinion about you as American citizens who volunteered to put on the American uniform and do what so many others couldn't do or wouldn't do deserves the most respect.  You have not only had your part in keeping America safer, but also have performed your duty without condition.  I can't speak for others, therefore there words come from myself alone - THANK YOU!
