The band, Moe's Haven, from Manchester, New Hampshire, has become the first band to sign on for creating a CD about cancer survivors and their caretakers. They took my poem A Thousand Times, and turned it into a song. A Thousand Times was written for Betty on our recent wedding anniversary. This has been a dream, long in the making. To change 10-12 poems into music, for a worthy cause. The poems can be found in my book Damaged Merchandise; Poems and Stories of an Alcoholic Addict, or on my poetry section at www.authorsden.com/daveharm Anyone interested in helping with this project, please contact me at dave@daveharm.com

| Veteran's Day in Closter, NJ |
| Letter from United States Congressman and former University of Nebraska Football Coach, Tom Osborne |
|
Your book sounds quite interesting. I commend you on your willingness and courage to share details of your situation with others. I also appreciate your efforts to help people understand the ramifications of substance addiction. Like you, I am deeply concerned about the alcohol problem facing the United States, particularly underage drinking among our young children.
It is devastating that in many cases it takes the loss of life for some to recognize the severity of the problems associated with alcohol abuse. As a society, we can no longer have a complacent attitude towards underage drinking if we want to stop the increased risk of harm that lasts well beyond our youth's adolescent years. As parents, grandparents, teachers, and mentors, we owe it to our youth and the communities in which we live to tackle these problems before they worsen.
Best Wishes,
Tom Osborne
