It's awesome that even in this tough economy, that someone can be given such a great gift!

Congrats Emannuel!

I'm especially glad one of our military people got it!

Thanks APMEX, this is one of those trips that my wife and I will never forget.

Ive never won anything like this but all I have to say is be good to those around you and remember that serving others no matter what your profession is, is one of the most rewarding feelings ever.

The service that APMEX has provided to us military members serving all over the world is a huge blessing in itself and I couldnt be more thankful for the opportunity they have given us.

On a final note, if it wasnt for them I'd be stuck with lots of(worthless)FRN's

Thanks APMEX!!!

Best Regards,

Emmanuel

to tour the Perth mint!!!" I

hope Emmanuel

and his wife have a good time.

Thanks also for your service.
