Dear Terrorists,
I am a Navy Aviator. I was born and raised in a small town in New England. I come from a family of five. I was raised in a middle class home and taught my values by my mother and father.
My dad worked a series of jobs in finance and my mom took care of us kids. We were not an overly religious family but attended church most Sundays. It was a nice small Episcopal Church. I have a brother and sister and I am the youngest in my family. I was the first in many generations to attend college.
I have flown Naval aircraft for 16 years. For me the flying was never a lifelong dream or a "calling," it just happened. I needed a job and I liked the challenge. I continue to do it today because I feel it is important to give back to a nation which has given so much to me. I do it because, although I will never be rich, my family will be comfortable.
I do it because many of my friends have left for the airlines and someone has to do it.
My government has spent millions to train me to fly these multi-million dollar aircrafts. I make about 70,000 dollars a year and after 20 years will be offered a pension.
I like baseball but think the players make too much money. I am in awe of firemen and policemen and what they do each day for my community, and! like teachers, they just don't get paid enough.
I respect my elders and always use sir or ma'am when addressing a stranger. I'm not sure about kids these days but I think that's normal for every generation.
I tell you all this because when I come for you, I want you to know me. I won't be hiding behind a woman or a child. I won't be disguised or pretending to be something I am not. I will be in a U.S. issue flight suit. I will be wearing standard US issue flight gear, and I will be flying a navy aircraft clearly marked as a US warplane. I wish we could meet up close in a small room where I could wrap my hands around your throat and slowly squeeze the life out of you, but unfortunately, you're hiding in a hole in the ground, so we will have to do this a different way.
I want you to know also that I am very good at what I do. I can put a 2,000 lb weapon through a window from 10,000 feet up. I generally only fly at night, so you may want to start sleeping during the day. I am not eager to die for my country but I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect it from animals like you.
I will do everything in my power to ensure no civilians are hurt as I take aim at you.
My countrymen are a forgiving bunch. Many are already forgetting what you did on Sept 11th. But I will not forget!!
I am coming! I hope you know me a little bit better, see you soon...sleep tight.
Signed
A U.S. Navy Pilot
Our Soldiers are one
of our greatest assets!
God Bless
I was a Navy brat, and served in the US Navy 1966-68. The enemy we fought was similar to the ones now. They refuse to identify themselves as military. At least in VN, they had black pajamas!
Who's the author?
I'd send this to everyone I know, but I DO hate internet legends.
May God bless your father and fly with him each mission.
This should be translated into arabic and dropped in leaflet format into trouble spots.
Sign one of the Navy guided bombs complements of America and Free Republic.

Posted several times, I see. Yet another email distribution. I wonder who wrote it.
This is not news....
"I wonder who wrote it."
Ted Nugent.
There's the legend for you.
Really? I had no idea he was a pilot. [grin]
George Carlin of course.
First I've seen it. I love it.
If you've read the thread, you've discovered that this is another old email distribution letter. It's a good letter, but someone wrote it long ago, and it's already been on Free Republic a number of times.
Posting forwarded emails in News topics is almost always a bad idea.
I read this once before here on FR. It gave me shivers then, and still does.
Thanks for bumping this one.....That WAS your point, right?
Chuck Norris.
Ted Nugent.
Chuck Norris.
Nope...Jack Bauer. All email comes from Jack Bauer.
with all those highly classified facts about Chuck Norris that have recently been released, we should just send ol' chuck in to take care of the terrorists...
