Greetings, I would like to start this message by saying that my family and I are Hurricane Katrina survivors and that this email is long overdue. I would simply like to thank you for taking the time to truly make a product that is beyond reproach.
On August 28th, my family and I were evacuated by bus to the Baton Rouge area because the hurricane was less than 24 hours from making landfall. It was a morning that shall stay with me for many reasons, some personal (even trite), and some too obvious to even mention. My family and I left Orleans Parish with three days worth of clothes, and my thermos. To this day, I still don't know why I grabbed that at the last minute as we left our apartment for what was to be the last time. By just after 5 a.m. on the morning of August 29th, we lost electricity and water. It was an unusually hot summer even by Southern Louisiana standards. What most people didn't think about was that without electricity, you had no air-conditioning; no way of escaping the heat. You can thus imagine what it was like having no water on top of such horrendous conditions (ironically, the city was flooding).

By a stroke of luck, my son and I came across a small supply of ice. Your thermos kept ice cubes frozen for almost 24 hours. I don't know if you can imagine what that meant to us. I am well aware of the guarantee that you place on your products, which is why I bought your product in the first place. While I know that it comes with a lifetime guarantee, I wanted you to know that you will have the gratitude of my family and I forever.

My sincerest thanks again.
