Wal-Mart's commitment to give back to the communities we serve is shared by our associates and customers. We are proud that the generous contributions of our associates and customers touched the lives of families who may have otherwise gone without the joys of the holiday season. I would like to thank all of those who contributed to this year's Red Kettle campaign. They deserve sincere congratulations on making our neighbors' holiday a little brighter.
