Just what we all needed. More spam and junk mail and posers.

Looks t'me like y'all got a real bona fide "out" case yur identity is stolen cause a their ineptitude and negligence...both times...lol
Hehehe...like yur sense a humor mate. BTW...just learned that the disc that was stolen was for vets released out of the service from 1976 on....that's a relief to me...I mustered out in 67....
That figures. All I ask in just a little piece of the frigs if and when they catch 'em.
