Email from my Mom (Jeannie)...
Friends & family,
I received this from a friend whose young son has served 3 tours in Iraq. I know there are so many soldiers over there that do not have anyone here at home to hear from. I have asked a friend over there now to please send names of soldiers who need mail. It doesnt matter what your feelings are about this war, our precious troops need our support.
Thanks to those of you who wish to send this soldier a note of encouragement. It doesnt have to be wordy or long. Just for him to be of good faith and courage and to know that we are thinking about him.
Love to all,
Jeannie
Subject: Marine needs e-mail
a Marine in iraq....he is north of Fallujah. He is an Arabic linguist also, and he is the only one. he has to go out on all patrols. Could you email him? He needs positive contact from all of us safe at home.
his email address is :- hm1dan@yahoo.com
please pass that along to all of our Marines.
in your first emails please put in the subject something like "Sierra Vista Marines, or "Friends of your Brother."
he is not having an easy time.
bttt
Semper Fi!
I'm with you. I decided to hold off until I hear someone has received a response back. Then I know the email addy is legit! Better to be safe than sorry!
Done & BTT
I think 12 monthes is standard for the Army. That is the length of time my son had to spend there, but I think the time frame is different for the Marines.
If everyone on this thread sends an email though his mailbox will soon be filled up. I think it would be better if this is legit. to send a real letter, or even better a care package. I know David prefered letters to emails.
Thanks Tonk ! I sent an email last night and passed this on to those who I am sure will write ! I also sent it to Jim Quinn (warroom.com)
We are....the FreeRepublic.worm !!!!!
My letter,
Hey there Soldier,
I got your name from a posting on my favorite website Free Republic.com. Sometimes people try to pose as us "FReepers" and say nasty things to make us look bad, so watch out for that. We are a grass-roots conservative site that runs on donations.
Anyway, I hope you are well and I appreciate your service.
Notes in the news: Barry Bonds recently hit his 700th homerun. Only the third person to ever do that besides Babe Ruth and Hammerin' Hank Aaron.
The presidential race. Everyone is questioning why John Kerry appears to be orange. Most think its a bad fake tan he tried. Kerry has given some explaination that nobody is buying.
I just turned 40 fringgin 8. Played two rounds of golf with lunch in between at Orange County National in Orlando.
My boat basically blew up recently and the transmission on the wife's van is going out. I know, I'm whining. Its because of people like you that allows people like me to worry about these small bumps in life. We sometimes take it for granted that we don't have to worry about life and death on a daily basis because you have our backs man. And I really appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Your Friend and fellow american,
(subterfuge)
