"It was such a pleasure to make your acquaintance and spend time sharing stories. You send a great message and do great things. Obviously, you have made an impression on my young leaders, and I am positive that you have touched the lives of everyone you spoke to last week. This is what life is all about. I salute you and what you are doing to make a difference in people's lives." "I guess you never really know how the experiences you share effect other people. Sometimes our lives require that we put things on hold, let our dreams smoulder but never extinguish, until the time is right to ignite the flame again. I feel like you did that!! Thanks so much again!!" "It was great seeing you again and having you participate in our 2005 National Conference on Ethics in America! Thank you so much for all you did for the Academy, cadets, the NCEA delegates and for the positive impact you had on the Conference...clearly it was from your heart. Your passion and candor were truly appreciated! Thank you also for holding the MILITARY in such high esteem!...Your tone, direction, perspective and honesty as one of the Senior Leader Panelists was right on target!...180 students and 30 faculty from 60+ colleges, as well as the entire West Point community SALUTE YOU!" "Our family wants to thank you for your inspiring presentation on your climb of Mt. Everest! Our sons were very taken with your lessons on teamwork, sacrifice and survival. After a full half hour of describing your talk my son had tears in his eyes because you gave him such hope for his future. You were living proof that people can live exceptional lives. Thanks so much for taking the time to come and be such a great role model for our children." "Eric Alexander not only had an amazing story to tell, but he truly exemplified the characteristics of a humble leader. His story involved overcoming failure, overcoming unbelievable odds, and depending on personal spiritual faith for strength and wisdom. He was humorous and had awesome pictures which put the audience directly in his story."
