To our many old and newfound friends:

The last several months have been an incredible experience, an experience few will encounter in a lifetime.  As we journeyed through out our America, we were so impressed with the outpouring of support from thousands of people.  Our faith has been restored, we are a nation of people who genuinely care about others on this planet earth.  How do we say thank you thousands of times to the many wonderful people that we have met, each and everyone of you.  I am sure we erred in not expressing our gratitude to each and every one of you, but, rest assured we do really thank you for your undying support.   

I am convinced that letters to everyone, contacts to our Congressional leaders, participation in rallies, spending countless hours at the computer and just praying for the  best possible outcome for Ehren has had a positive effect on the outcome thus far. Hopefully Rosa and I will see you again -- even if we don't, rest assured you will be in our hearts.

With a very warm Aloha,

Bob Watada and Rosa Sakanishi
