Anybody have any ideas about how to expand the reach of this post beyond FR?

This is powerful stuff and well worth sharing with a few million souls out there. There is no RAT antidote to this kind of Vietnam service.

Any thoughts?

Thank You.

As for getting it out to another place...I have no real idea how...or if what I write is good enough for them.

I really do appreciate what you have said...

Oh, believe me, what you write is good enough for anyplace at all. Anyplace, that is, where people care about reality.

The problem is getting it to the forums that can mainstream.

On FR, the object is to keep the thread alive through bumps. Once achieved, the next level of interest takes over. I truly believe that many talk-radio shows exist solely because of the prep-work done on FR.

You story is immediate. Your story resonates with people that have never served. Your story is 180 degrees opposite from the self-serving crap of the Kerry camp.

Thank you and God bless. I hope you have found some peace.

Good morning! This was the first post I read today, redrock, and it is beautifully written.

It is very brave of you to put forward such a deeply personal memory. Thank you for your service to our country.

Not only does this post show us that all service is valuable, but even more important, it shows the hand of God reaching out through the most humble of deeds. Wherever he is, may God bless Hiram, and God bless you.

Beautiful, redrock!!! Your story definitely needs to be shared beyond FR (and thank you for sharing it with us).

Every little piece of yourself you reveal explains why I respect and admire you so much. Well done, my friend.
