In the closing scenes of Black Hawk Down, the character played by Eric Bana, "Hoot", tells the main character played by Josh Hartnett, Eversmann, "When I go back (to America) and people ask me, 'Why do you do it, man? Why do you keep going back? Are you some kinda war junkie?' I won't say a word. I won't say cos they won't understand. They won't understand that it's about the man beside you."
As we conclude the actual expedition to Mount Kilimanjaro, we shall not remain silent. Do ask us how it was like, because Tanzania and Mount Kilimanjaro sure made for a priceless experience. Do ask us about the gorgeous sunrise, the clear night sky, the breathtaking views of the peak and the Acute Mountain Sickness. We'd be more than happy to share. But what we had on the mountain was unique to ourselves. Heck, each individual experienced something unique. To the team, I'll say: Treasure those moments, guys. No one else could have experienced the mountain your way, and you are blessed and privileged to have been touched by the mountain as such. No one could ever claim a name on that treasure chest of yours.
The thing which I didn't mention during the sharing session that night was how this Dare to Dream project has brought us together much like the soldiers featured in BHD. All the great times we had, all the sweat and tears has brought us together in a way not many other activities can. Thanks for being such a great team, guys! -Jimmy

"We happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother."
Henry V, William Shakespeare
