Dear Bob:

Great talking with you again the other day! It's certainly my pleasure to add an endorsement to theVeterans National Education Program. AFJROTC units throughout the country have been veryappreciatively using your DVDs and lesson plans for several years ... and to rave reviews requesting more.

I recently surveyed the 113 TX and LA units in my area of responsibility with two simplequestions ... have they used your materials, and would they use them in the future? Accompanying myemail were the most recent curriculum materials you had provided me. Of course most everybody isalready well aware of your DVDs and lesson plans. The survey results speak directly to the quality ofyour DVDs and other curriculum materials, as well as to the appreciation for your considerable efforts.

First, it's important to note that it was a very busy time in the school year, and many schools were out ofsession. But 69 units did respond. Fifty said "yes" to both my questions (73%) ...yes they have used thematerials in the past, and yes they would use them in the future. Sixteen (23%) indicated no, they hadnot ...but yes, they would in the future. That's 96% that have llsed, or would use., your curriculummaterials. And I'm sure if all 113 of Area j units had responded that percentage would've gone higher.Your DVDs, lesson plans, instructor guides, sample test questions are very popular. Nobody who hadused your materials indicated they would not use them in the future.

In addition to the very quick and simple yes/no responses, a number of units added unsolicited comments:

"Have used Vietnam and Tuskegee Airmen DVD, I think the cadets would love to see the new Iraq andAfghanistan DVD. Thank you"

"Just used the Tuskegee Video last week. It's very popular; our other teachers often ask to borrow thevideos. "

"I was so impressed with their first video that I sent them a thank you note some time ago."

"It goes without saying that we at TX-20002 use the videos, love them and the cadets get their eyesopened! We are a BIG yes for their use in our curriculum."

"Very high quality"

"Our students like the use of actual characters from each area covered."

"The DVDs are great."

"A very good product that the cadets like."

"We've used these for both Veteran's Day and part of the study of the Tuskegee Airmen as well as theunit covering Vietnam."

"I have used all the DVD's sent - The real Band of Brothers; Tuskegee Airman (during Black HistoryMonth); Women in the Military (during Women's History Mo:rnh); wwn (during the Pearl Harbor timeDecember); Vietnam (during November around Veteran's Day). The Cadets love these videos and haverequested I show them again this year. They are very popular."

"Excellent Product."

Bob, I hope this data is useful to you. The Veterans National Education Program has proven atremendous resource for the AFJROTC program, and greatly appreciated by the instructors and cadetsalike. All the best as you continue to grow this most impact:ful program!

Sincerely,

uW~Wolfgang E. K. Gesch, Colonel, USAF(Ret)AFJROTC Area 5 Administrator
