Dear (name withheld),

A moron referring to any group as idiots is a hypocrisy of the highest order.

In reference to your anonymous quote: In addition to MRFF President and Founder Mikey Weinstein and our over 28,000 clients within the U.S. Armed Forces, the MRFF Advisory Board members listed below have fought for your freedom to be a moron.

Sincerely,

Andy Kasehagen, MRFF Volunteer
