Could you please also ping me with any updates? I'm so impressed with this young man's fight and with the love of his family! I'm sending out a card of thanks and a military coin.

Merry Christmas!

I think you have me on the ping list for this Marine's story; if not could you add me? If a visit is planned by FReepers in the area, I'd love to participate if possible. My parents live a stone's throw from Ellenville and my dad might be interested as well. I'm keeping my dad updated on Sgt. Ryan, as he is not a FReeper.

Thanks for all you're doing. Keeping Eddie and his family in my prayers.

If it had been me, I would have preferred that they let me die.

If I were you..I would keep my peace...and wait for the outcome.

Thanks for the article, Ali. I mailed him a card yesterday afternoon. I plan on getting a bunch and sending 1 a week. My grand daughters are going to be making pictures for him, too. Do you have a ping list for this hero? If so, would you put me on it?

My wife and I wrote Sgt. Eddie Ryan today and also sent him a copy of our family Christmas letter.

I have posted his story to my Catholic discussion list and have encouraged the members to write him and to spread the word about this brave young Marine to their friends and family.

That may be YOUR wish, and you are entitled to it.

It is NOT the wish of Cpl. Eddie Ryan!!

If I were you, out of sensitivity and decency, I think I would have withheld my personal opinion on this thread. It was in bad taste, to say the least...........

I sent a card today also. Hope Eddie gets thousands of cards like Joshua Spalding.

You are truly an angel for posting this article...and I to be added to the "Eddie Ryan ping list..

Not only is Eddie remarkable..but his family is also..such dedication..if we can help THEM in any way...I would sure like to find out.

Sometimes the caregivers go through a "silent" crisis of their own..(they might not even be aware of it)..but just the stress can be harmful...so I hope that we can give them our support also...

God Bless Eddie and his family...thank you Ali...I think you have gotten Eddie "adopted" by the Freepers...

I was just on the thread that Jim Robinson started to wish us all a Merry Christmas...and I was thinking how nice it would be for Eddie to know in "real time" how much we all care...and what we would like to say to him...

I wonder if we could get him on FR...and so his Mom, sister, father, could monitor the thread, and then, hopefully, he will be able to read it for himself..

Of course, we all still need to send cards and drawings, but, when I am "down" it can be such an instant "pick-me-up"...when I get on a thread with Freeper friends..

What do you think?

I think that would be a great idea. We'd need to find out if he has a laptop. If not, I'm sure we could all pitch in and get him one.
