Great post, but if you receive future correspondence please blank out the placenames. I hate to be a heavy hand, but we are still at war and the "Loose Lips" caveat still applies.

Remember, the enemy has the internet too.

While I welcome good news from the front, is this message verifiable?

Shakespear said "First kill all the lawyers". He was wrong, first you kill all the journalists and THEN kill all the lawyers.

There, ladies and gentlemen, is your average American fighting man, labeled...a GI. They are the best we got, the cream of our youth, they are the kids that play football and get so-so grades, they are the smart assed kids that the town folk bitch about. And, they are the smart, rich kids that go for a reason that can't be stopped by their fathers and mothers. All of these GIs are the best America has to offer, and they chose to stand in harms way for the country that they love so much. These are our John Wayne's, aren't they great? John Wayne didn't die, he just passed bravery on to another generation, and that generation passed him off to another, and this brave generation will pass them of again.

When these men come back they will have a different view of this country. These men will make the politics of the future by the leadership tried and tempered by battle and dedication to the cause of freedom and liberty. They have seen the enemy and they have defeated him. The socialists are crying in their holes at the though of brave men, tried in combat for their country, coming to fight them.

God bless and keep this young man. He reports the truth from a place that is hell on earth. He fights for a thing that has no material worth.....freedom. Freedom extended, for the American people, and freedom for people that he has never known, and have never had it.

Tell me that there are not patriots in those young ranks and I will call you a fool.

Thank you God, You have done a fine job of preserving "The Patriot".

Ragtime Cowgirl, I have a question:

Why is it that half way through the letter it has all those arrows,> like when I receive jokes that have been passed on from the internet?

Starting at this point.

> Safe water is more available.
> Electricity has been restored to pre-war levels but saboteurs keep cutting the lines. And The old Ba'ath big shots are upset because they can't get fuel for their private generators. One actually complained to General McKeirnan, who told him it was a rough world.
>
etc.
