Your efforts obviously are not in vain. My eyeballs are literally swimming about, due to long work day fatigue, so I will keep my response short.
A big Semper Fi to you. And do have a great upcoming day.
I just received another reply to one of the e-mails that I sent to Iraq. Here it is in it's entirety. My message must have went to a stateside address, and then that person conversed with their spouse (who is a former coworker on the ground in Iraq.) A hearty thank you for your keen interest in this thread, and in it's outcome.
Hi Perry,
I wanted to let you know that I let Ernie know about the emails you sent. I heard from him today & he told me the story behind them & the door that was found. Hopefully it will be sent to the family.
Sincerely, Mary
