Worried soldier's mum emails colonel in Afghanistan
The mother of a US marine in Afghanistan emailed his regiment because she was worried she had not seen him in the news.
Faith Tejera initially 'spammed' the whole Marine Corps headquarters by accident with the query about her son John Leger's wellbeing.
Eventually she contacted the Lieutenant Colonel in charge of her 19-year-old's battalion and her son was summoned from a foxhole to email her back.
Ms Tejera of Louisiana emailed: "I haven't heard from him since November 19. I saw 5,000 pictures of Marines in the last month and not one of my son." She had seen footage of other marines telephoning home, reports the New York Daily News.
"I would appreciate it if you could just find him and, understandably without disclosing his location, let me know if he's okay. This is the first Christmas my son and I have ever been apart. Please help me."
The lieutenant responded: "Your son is a member of my command and I see him often. He has always stood out as the youngest-looking Marine in the battalion. He's doing quite well, and his platoon commanders tell me he's one of the best Marines in his platoon. I will ensure he sends you an e-mail from my account so you can hear from him that all's well."
An embarrassed Lance Corporal John was summoned from his foxhole and emailed his mother: "Hey mom, I told you I wouldn't be able to talk to you for a while. I even said about how long, but that's okay. I'm fine and safe and out of harm's way, but very smelly. Well, I can't blame you for worrying. Jeez, what are you trying to do get me in trouble or something? Just kidding. It's okay mom."
He attached a digital picture taken moments before. Ms Tejera said: "Pretty cool picture, huh? He looks embarrassed though, doesn't he? Poor kid."
She e-mailed the lieutenant colonel back: "I feel much better now. I am sorry to have caused you trouble. You are a wonderful commander and God will bless you for not holding my son responsible for my hysteria."
He replied: "Ms Tejera, It was no trouble at all. Besides, my mother still worries about her oldest son and I've been active duty for nearly 20 years."

Thanks, but “mrsmith” is from the movie,
“Mr Smith Goes to Washington”- not “The Matrix” ( my sign on date is before the Matrix movies).
There are some Jones’s on my Grandpa’s side.
I simply love this story.
Nukka, please. Errbody knows its 'Mrs Mith'. You ain't foolin' nobody.
My military service was very inconsequential.
But when I look on self-acclaimed cowards like you- it looks so good.
As a Vet, I love this report.
You, and yours’ don’t- but who cares?
You’re nobodies.

To put it in perspective, one of my mom's cousins enlisted on 12/8/1941. A few months later, he called his mom from the SF shipyard...told her he was shipping out for parts unknown, may not hear from him for awhile.
Their next contact was sometime in 1944.
Begging for some idiot, any idiot, to “defend” you.

Take my friendly advice, put a cork in the bottle before you start to attack an upstanding American like my friend Bagster.
