We Get Letters

"US Marine Colonel Simcock, the commander of
USMC Regimental Combat Team
(RCT) 6 in Iraq, is asking for 6,000 positive emails
to his Marines.

That's one email for each Marine in his RCT command.
COL Simcock is concerned about the effect of the
negative barrage that those Marines are getting
through the electronic media. So far,
they've onlymustered 2,000 emails.

That's a crying shame compared to the amount of crap
I get daily in email. This is a legitimate request.
It's not one of the "little Johnny wants
to break the world's record in Christmas cards"
situations.It takes only 30 seconds of your time.

Here's the email address:

RCT-6lettersfromh@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil

If you're reading this email, then you can probably
click on the address, type a few words, and then hit "send".
It doesn't have to be the Gettysburg Address.
Something as simple as "Hello, Marine. We thank you
for what you're doing.
You are in a noble task. Don't let anyone tell you
otherwise. Best wishes & get home soon"
is more than sufficient."

Damned shame when the Marines have to beg for the real scoop 
concerning how Americans feel about them. Drop 'em a line if
you can, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
