Have fun? Hmph! My letter: LOL...I can tell you were never a PFC. :o) Here are the latest messages I received in the past few minutes. The first is from an old friend I served with overseas in the early 70s who is an author and works closely with Robin Moore (wrote Green Berets) and others. Hi Mike, I sent your message on to over 300 people. It has also been picked on the SF-List so it will go to many others as well. I sent a check to PFC Barton tonight. He can spend it anyway he wishes. Did they capture the assholes who assaulted him? Are you attending the SOAR next week? Regards, Bill (My NOTE: SOAR is the Special Operations Assn Reunion.) Next comes from a Marine. >>>Got this from several folks...thx to all. May be more to this than meets the eye...guess the Sojer was incapacitated because of his wound...or...woulda hopefully kicked the livin' crap outta his attacker...but of course...wondering why folks didn't come to his aid. Whatever the case, List is open...folks need to do what they think right. For my part, and even at my advanced age, I'da love'd to have been there to stand by that young Warrior in his time of need...!!!! Semper Fi, Lobo MustangMudMarine<<< This one came from an SFer I know very well. We have worked together not so long ago. Give him the ID and he will correct the problem. His name is Greg and his question is simple...This was Greg's entire response to my E-mail. Has the person that beat him up been ID'd? This one came from a very good SF friend who is dying of cancer as is his wife. >>>Mike, I am sorry to hear about this kid. I am just sorry I was not present when this happenned. Zeke>> I served with this SF Medic in the mid-60s. We were buddies then...we are buddies now. Mike, Good to hear from you... What can I do to help. I am sitting here wanting to get involved more than I am. Maybe you have some contacts or know of someone that can use an old SF guy that loves his country. God Bless America. kim uw
