Good evening, Camaro Comrades and Firebird Firends.............

As we come to the end of a very tumultuous year -- a year that was one of the toughest in GM History -- I wanted to thank each
of you for your continued passion for these legendary brands.........

...and for your faith that General Motors would survive --

....................and for your continued faith that we will emerge from this turmoil a much stronger company with a bright future.

Yes, it's been a rough year for most of us.....

But we still live in the TWO greatest Countries the world has ever known --

.....and we're able to travel freely to visit Friends and Family during this Holiday Season.........

..........and we're able to worship as we wish without persecution.........

...............and we're able to make our beliefs known without fear that we'll 'disappear into the night'

--And so as you celebrate the Holidays with Friends and Family -- and prepare to welcome the arrival of 2010, please be safe.......

If you're going to celebrate, please -- I beg you - don't drink and drive. You are much too important to your friends and family - and to me!

Of course, it wouldn't be a note from ME if I didn't bring up the "seat-belt" words............'nuff said about that........

And finally -

.........Please say a prayer for all our troops worldwide - They allow us the privilege of celebrating the Holidays.......and so very much more.


A very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours - and may the New Year bring you all that is good.........
