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)

"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.
LOL...that teacher has been exposed to so many radical left leaning parents whose children are in lock step with their garbage...I'm sure it was a relief and joy to hear a child that's not been indoctrinated to the left propaganda...
Done.

Bumpin’ and pingin’, cobra!
BTTT
Ya know I will.
Bump and thanks for the ping, Ma.
Love ya.
BTW, it's possible that I might have just e-mailed my daughter (a Marine in Iraq).
Thanks for the ping Freema, zapped out an email to the boys.
To do this weekend....
Thank you for the post....I wrote the email, cut and pasted your post onto an email and sent out to everyone in my address book....
Bump
This reply is to ALL
You guys are just super, thanks
Many thanks, Ma. Will send one out each day, it’s not that hard.
PINGER !!
I composed a email draft and shall send it once I figure out how to set the required authentication etc., in my new mail service. I tried to send it but got errors.
I’m on it!
Thanks for the PING!
I like your idea of one a day. I can do that—no, I WILL do that!
Done and passed along to other patriots. OOH RAH.
My e-mail just went out.
Bump to the most important thread I’ve read today.
I’m very leary of e-mails telling me to send this along to 10 people. More often than not they’re hoaxes or spam or just drivel.
But this was worth-while.
I did my research. Other blogs and forum have picked up on this....

So I’m confident this is the real deal.
Just sent one and will do it again regularly. -Reaperman
