1097 happily thanks 368 and 852 :)

I would like to congratulate Teams 1097, 852 and 368 on being winners in the FIRST sense of that word, because you have demonstrated the ability to compete full out and then to rise above winning or losing a competition and to focus on the higher aspirations of FIRST. In fact, I would venture to say that you will always be winners in everything you do, because losing is just a feeling of failure which doesn't apply to people like you who understand what is really important and continue toward their goals of a better life for all despite any and all adversity.

Thank you for providing such an awesome demonstration of what gracious professionalism really means. It's was an honor to compete with you.
