I was fortunate to see Tom at the Marine Corps Family Conference. He is so far above the average comedian. He is funny yet he is also a warm & sincere guy. I bought the DVD for my Marine son and he loved it. Tom, you are the best!!!

“Thank you for bringing these wonderful soldiers to life for us! You made each one of us conscious of their patriotism, sacrifices and uniqueness. Your performance was so thought provoking and touching. So many of the people who were at your show have stopped me and thanked me for having you speak. I want to pass on their appreciation of your sharing your talent and insights. Please consider our group the Tom Irwin Fan Club #1.”
With deep gratitude, Nancy Theis THE WHITE HOUSE “This is a show that every American should see, I would see this show again, and I would cry again, and laugh again, and I would feel again. Thank you Tom Irwin, I came away from that theater a better person for experiencing the war through your eyes. Tom Irwin, in my humble opinion, is a hero.” Victoria Mason Radio Palm Beach “The humor that this DVD brings is invaluable. It should be seen by every military member, family member of a soldier and every American REGARDLESS of your feelings about the war. It is not only entertaining, but lets you see the war from another set of eyes. Hats off to you Tom Irwin.” Chris Foley Sergeant First Class United States Army Tom, Thanks so much for everything you're doing for us! Your show is Amazingly funny, Heartbreaking and relevant for Veterans and us as an nation. Call me anytime you need anything! Rob Timmins Field and Outreach Director Iraq and Afganistan Veterans of America No matter what you feel about the war, EVERY American should see 25 Days In Iraq. Very rarely does one get the chance to see humor and truth all at once. I watched it with my parents. We enjoyed it tremendously. Especially my father, a veteran of WWII. I was so impressed with what I saw, I am now sending it to my nephew. He is a marine and is going to Iraq in August. Thank you, Tom for doing a great service for this great country. Kevin Garnier; CEO Garnier Entertainment The Downtown Comedy Club(Los Angeles) www.downtowncomedyclub.com " Hi Tom, I saw your show last Wednesday a the Fake Gallery and I wanted to thank you for the experience! I really wanted to thank you that night, but I was so emotional and I couldn't really speak. I know you are a comic and you are definitely funny, but your show moved me in other ways (besides humor) too! I am not a supporter of war and generally find that since I do not support the violence, that I kind of dismiss the whole notion of what is going on right now in Iraq. I didn't realize I was doing this until I saw your show. You really woke me up to the personal aspect of what is going on, regardless and this is part of being an American - supporting the system we create and choose to live in! I have an even greater relationship with and love for or military personnel now. And I thank them, and you, for doing what you do. Tom, your support of the troops was tangible and I thank you for doing what few would do. I wish you the best of luck with your endeavors. S. Allen Los Angeles I watched the whole DVD. You're very talented. You are like a preacher on stage. It was inspirational, poignant yet humorous at the same time. I've never seen a show like it. Way to go.

Los Angeles,CA What a great thing you are doing, TI! As the father of a veteran, I am highly displeased with American media & the way our service people’s sacrifice is deliberately ignored. Many Americans do not have a clue about the factual issues of war that are the main elements your show. Taking your show into the war zone to bring a smile to America ’s brave service people says to me (& others) that you are a selfless visionary patriot. Isn’t it about time for all Americans to take care of our service people & to show ‘em we appreciate & care for them in a big way? I am hopeful that the United States of America is poised for a significant shift in its consciousness. People like you are going to be leading this shift. I hope to be one of those people, too. Well done Brother TI! Best regards, Jeffrey B. Kraus, aka "EZJ" President, Founder South Bay Custom Cycles Promotions Love the DVD! I appreciate your support of our troops and would love to have you come to Phoenix if we do a big event for fundraising. It would also be great to list you on the web site as a supporter of Salute A Soldier. Thanks again and keep in touch. www.saluteasoldier.org Kathy Pearce " Everybody in this country should see 25 Days in Iraq, because at the end of the day you forget that the men and women fighting this war are just like you and me. And for a guy that has been there and is now attempting to tell their story and is willing to go back a fifth time? It's remarkable." A. Plotnick Los Angeles Tom - The show last night was very powerful, and interesting in the best way. We couldn't stop talking about the soldiers all the way home, it is great what you are doing by spreading a feeling of support for the troops. It made all of us want to do something to make them feel supported. If you have any suggestions of what would be a good way to help, let me know. I hope you can make it to Austin and tell them your experience. I'll definitely tell everyone I know about it:) Brooke Austin, TX The DVD is a remarkably direct accounting for the conditions in Iraq. |
