Thanks. I REALLY appreciate this information. It appears I owe marty an apology.

We were all burned a while back by a person named Bogdan here at FR. He claimed to have a brother in Iraq. This man did troop reports (much like this one).

The final blow came when one day he told this forum that his wife died in a car crash. We were all devastated.

One on the ball FReeper called the right people and did some checking and found out no such woman had died.

Something like three weeks later, This Bogdan fellow called a fellow FReeper, to say he was taking his wife back to Russia or some such place. It was really bizarre.

So this post was really similar. First hand accounts. Blow by blow reporting. I admit, while reading marty's past posts and seeing his writing style change, I had some pretty severe flashbacks of a time when we were all snookered. I thought it was happening again.

Spanaway Lori says she has his APO address and writes him.

You state you have sent stuff to a fellow troop and received a response. So I owe an apology.

marty, consider this my apology for doubting you.

I hope the forum accepts it too.

FRegards

No Worries,
I really can't fathom why anyone would make up this kind of stuff other than some personality disorder. While I admit that I enjoy the attention, it's more of a camaraderie with good decent people that I enjoy the most. But don't worry yourself too much, that impostor will get what he deserves.
Anyway, I just want you all to know that I am doing fine. I just had my knee x-rayed and there is no real damage. I still have a ball bearing in the soft tissue, where it will stay for a while but there is no infection. My ear drum is still full of fluid but I will probably regain most of my hearing. I am lucky though, I will go home one day.
Anyway, I want to wish every FReeper a Merry Christmas,
Love and God bless,
Martywake
