I wanted to share this letter as it touched me very much......SGT. Robert Peragine and all the men in his platoon ARE THE INSPIRATION!!! I'm just having fun on a home design show:)

Tanya,

My name is SGT. Robert Peragine, and I just wanted to thank you for being an inspiration to me and my boys while we were over in Iraq. As you could imagine, there are some extremely long days and restless nights in the sand, and we hang onto whatever we can to try to keep focused and remember what we are doing here. Well, after a couple of months I printed off a photo of you to hang in our barracks; a sort of, "this is what we are fighting for back home" kind of thing. The men loved it and what a boost in morale right away.

What I was wondering Tanya, was this. Now that I am back home and safe, could I ask you for an autographed photo that I could keep. It would be a great reminder of time served in Iraq and a nice talking piece when I show it to my platoon. Thanks again for the motivation you gave us all, we certainly do appreciate what you do and who you are.

Warmest regards,

Robert Peragine
