 Hello everybody hooded to commander 788 here, and this is our donation unboxing video This is everything that came into the P.O. Box in March of 2020 The last half of March everybody was getting very concerned about the global pandemic About the COVID-19 virus that's been going around so I can't blame you guys if you weren't exactly rushing to the post office to send stuff I've always said that If we don't get any donations for a month We just won't do one of these donation unboxing videos for that month If ever there was a month where maybe we don't need to do a donation unboxing video It's possibly for the month of April and 2020 I would rather you not send something to me if it means you would risk contracting a deadly virus, so I will put the P.O. Box on the screen now as I always do I always say you should never feel obligated to send anything Especially now if you choose to send something to me Please take all of the necessary Precautions be extremely careful protect your health and if there is any risk at all Just don't do it. Just wait, you know wait until the virus is past us, okay, so that would be my caveat for Sending stuff to the channel right now. I'm still happy to get stuff if you send stuff I will open it. I will thank you for it, but be careful. Be really careful Yeah, I don't want to be the guy That causes you to get sick because you went to the post office to send something to me I really just stay alive stay alive, okay? But this is what we got we got three packages Thank you to everyone who sent these and I'm just gonna start opening them and we'll see what we got I had to pause the video because I realized I hadn't cut the boxes open So I had to go get my pocket knife and cut them open so it'll be easier to open up for you on camera So now everything is cut open. I'm going to start with this This envelope here. This is from Dave Conroy and he has taped a really cool picture of the Hooded Cobra Commander action figure right there And I've cut along the side although I realize now that this has a pull tab and I could have just I Could have just done that but you know I never I try to never do things the easy way right so Let's just go ahead and pop that open And see what he sent us We have a letter And it's you wrote very big so I don't have to get my glasses. Thank you very much This says hopefully this little Oh, sorry almost started reading at the end.

Thank you Thank you for watching. That's really cool Your attention to detail and care for what you do makes you one of a kind when you did The anti-drug campaign involving GI Joe and let the viewers see the grave of your old friend Davy Was very powerful and very moving. Yes, that was I wasn't sure if I should get that personal in that video But I thought okay, you know If we're gonna make the point that you know people shouldn't use drugs and then let's make the point and that was though the Most direct way that I could think of to make that point. So I went ahead and did that I Showed it that to my son and he got it. It will stay with him. You explain drug abuse very well and God bless Davy Yes, we a lot of us still miss Davy and it's been a long time, but we still think of him Are you a compassionate caring person?
