John Kennedy, fellow hot dogger and all around good guy recently went in halvsies with me to send a copy of my book to one of our soldiers serving in Iraq.  Sgt. Kevin had written me expressing his hopes of starting a hot dog cart business when he gets home, and thanks to John’s kindness he’s one step closer to realizing that goal.  Here’s Kevin’s email:

“Good morning Steve, i just returned to Iraq and i received your book, i was so excited i stayed up all night reading.  I will read it again to make sure i did not miss anything.  I am saving my money, and will be purchasing a hot dog cart from one of those sources you mentioned in the book. I dont know what made me go to the “hot dog website” that you have that night but, i am glad i did.  I plan on working this just as you said, as i will have about 18 months of living expenses saved up, and if all goes well, i would like to get a mobile kitchen to pull behind my truck to work some of these fairs and such but, we will see, have to do the “crawl, walk, run” phase first.  Anyway, i know you are busy but thanks again i believe this will change my life forever.  Also, one thing you mentioned was getting used to a “steady paycheck”, something about thinking different about that, as thats what keeps alot of people from striking out on their own, well i am
quickly learning only you can provide for your financial security. Anyway, thanks again , i will be in contact in the future take care.  Kevin”

Be safe Seargent – and thanks for all that you and your fellow soldiers do for us!

– Steve
