write a Marine
my email

Posted on 09/19/2007 6:25:20 PM PDT by jyro

forwarded from my email

From: Colonel Simcock, USMC

US Marine Colonel Simcock, the commander of USMC Regimental Combat Team 6 in Iraq, is asking for 6,000 positive emails to his Marines.

That's one email for each Marine in his RCT command. COL Simcock is concerned about the effect of the negative barrage that those Marines are getting through the electronic media and the Democrat comments on them losing. (Thanks Harry Reid! You and your Democrats really support the troops)

RCT-6lettersfromh@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil

"If you're reading this email, then you can probably click on the address, type a few words, and then hit "send" to be all done.

It doesn't have to be the Gettysburg Address. Something as simple as "Hello, Marine. We thank you for what you're doing.

You are in a noble task. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Best wishes &get home soon" is more than sufficient.

I find that the part I put in bold is the most offensive. Whether you agree with the war or not, to send a "barrage of negative messages through electronic media" to our troops is utterly outrageous. It is not the war that is demoralizing them, it is the negative barrage of messages through electronic media as per their own commander.

Do people NOT understand that our troops, in this day and age of the Internet, are seeing what you are saying.... And so are our enemies?

These morons deliberately ignore that simple basic concept as they are spewing their hatred.

Our troops need to know we appreciate them and all they do for us.

Is it THAT hard to actually give them that support?

For some it seems to be. They should be ashamed of themselves.

EMAIL A MARINE. Tell them how much they mean to us. Take 30 seconds right now and just do it, ok?

Thank you.

About a half hour. I sent it & then checked my reg email about a half hour afterward. I hope they get a working address up. I tried my yahoo account & it came back from there too, that came back within a few minutes.

I don’t know...when an email comes back to me it comes back within 2 minutes. It’s been 54 minutes...so I know mine is not going to be returned. That email address does work.

Done. Many thanks for the address. I’ve been emailing a couple of friends in the Army currently in the sandbox, guess a Marine won’t hurt. ;-)

Done and done.

My favorite opening was used:
“You are important to me. I care. I believe in the mission, the Men and Women, and the outcome.”

SEMPER FI !!!

Looks like they got over 30,000 emails the first two weeks, causing thier system to crash.

Email sent over 30 mins. ago. I usually get an almost immediate bounce back if it didn’t go through. Nothing yet... fingers crossed.

Their official website for emails for contact, just in case:

God bless our awesome troops .. may they never feel unappreciated and honored!
