Dave,
 
Just wanted to drop you an email. I stumbled across your web page when 
researching rainwater tanks and then spent about 2hrs reading your web page 
about your conscientious objection to the military use of your taxes. Quite an 
amazing and enthralling read. 
 
I spent about 3 years fighting an issue and know what its like .. bit like the 
feeling of banging your head against a wall I have been heard to say. But one 
that if you stick to your guns you can win. :)
 
I too ended up coming out on top but it cost me a huge amount of personal time, 
and I can relate to the feeling anticipation/dread of opening those letters.  
When I was reading your scanned letters it was all coming back to me.
 
Its heartening to see there are still people in this society who are willing to 
stand up for what they believe in. There are few that would go to the lengths 
and put so much on the line like you did to fight for their moral beliefs. This 
country would be a better place with more people like you.
 
I wish you and your family well and admire your determination. 
 
sincerely
