One of my friends from home sent me a few Season 3 episodes and I watched all of them in one sitting. It is amazing how much this show can brighten up your day. I have been trying to spread the word about HIMYM to my fellow soldiers, and have gotten quite a few hooked on the show.

I've been working on a campaign to save Friday Night Lights (yeah! We got it back officially yesterday) and occasionally chip in some time with the Save HIMYM campaign (now I can spend more time on it!) that I know you are in league with. For the FNL campaign we have sent many DVDs to the soldiers who are extremely grateful, not just because of the DVDs but because they may not receive packages and mail that often from home. We have hooked new viewers and given previous fans something to look forward to. By this story, it looks like sending HIMYM dvds would be a great idea. I mean, who doesn't love Barney, Ted, Marshall, Lily and Robin? And if this show can bring such happiness to one soldier, then how great is that? Truly inspiring!
