ATTENTION AMERICA!
This entry was posted on April 26, 2008 7:30 AM and is filed under Heroes.
It has been brought to my attention that there are a group of US Marines based from Great Lakes Naval Base, now deployed in Iraq, who are not getting any mail. Not a note, not a love letter, not a care package has been received by them.
Retired Marine and dear friend Marty Smith has been in communication with Col. Curt Ames, USMC, and according to Col. Ames' contact in Iraq, these Marines never get any mail. I was asked to "drum up some business" for these outstanding Americans. I know that from past requests like this one, many of you have stepped up beyond anyone's imagination and delivered "big time" to our heroes overseas.
Well, ... I am asking for support again. Their names are ...
Cpl Adams, Michael D Sgt Bleuer, Cassandra D
Cpl Calderon, Jose Cpl Camp, Jesse S
Sgt Carson, William R Cpl Finney, Bryan D
Cpl Greenblatt, Justin M LCpl Larose, Katie L
Cpl Magallon, Felipe D Cpl McFalls, Williams H
Sgt Morales, Francisco Cpl Morris, Eric D
Cpl Salais, Zuzi E LCpl Warda, William D
LCpl Zhevakina, Yelena S
They are all at the same address; just write their name above the below address.
MTACS-38, MACG-38, 3D MAW (FWD)
UIC 41126
FPO, AP, 96426-1126
Let's take care of our sons and daughters. Please take some time and send out 15 letters ... if you want to send more; contact - Yellow Ribbon Support Group in Palatine, Illinois. For under $9.00 per package (that includes postage) you can send a complete care package to each of these Marines.
Click here: Support Our US Troops! Send Military Care Packages. YELLOW RIBBON SUPPORT GROUP
If you are a school teacher, and you're looking for a project, have your classes make cards and send letters to them. If you belong to a club or church-group and you're looking for a patriotic project, adopt these Marines. If you are bored and not sure what you can do to fight terrorism ... take a few minute a day send some letters to some kids who are far from home and need your support.
God bless you all for helping,
God bless our Marines, Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors,
God bless America!

No Servicemen or Women should go without mail from home. That is why I started my troop support site "Operation Mail From Home"
If you know of anyone not receiving mail from home no matter where they are stationed feel free to contact me at marinevet66to68@comcast.net
Please keep our Heroes in your prayers.

Have you let the gals at Soldier's Angels know? I'm a newbie "angel" but from what I've see so far they do a great job. (I'm an old hand at just donating, it's the letter-writing, etc. that's new.)
Anyhoo. If these fine men haven't all been sponsored by the end of the month, I'll help.

Hi Joe,
I write a lot through Soldiers Angels. I have a special "Thank You" card I composed (it has a lot of colorful Thank Yous's on the outside) and then the special text inside which is the following"
“It is the American Soldier that gives us our Freedom.”
Dear American Hero
There are not enough “Thank You’s” that I can say for your commitment to your Comrades,
your Commanders and this country. The best I’ve heard it said was from Lt. White at a Ranger Graduation:
"Don't let the pessimistic, television talking heads,high browed newspaper editors, Hollywood idiots,or any other faction of the "blame America first"
crowd get you down! I'm speaking of the "latte biscotti crowd”.
“They are simply background chatter, men, and will always exist on the periphery of any endeavor that requires selfless service or loyalty.
They are not worthy of your concern and,truth be told, in the pit of their cowardly hearts,they wish they could be like you."
YOU are my inspiration to carry on each and every day and I thank God for servants like you.
You are loved and appreciated beyond what Many or I could say.
Sincerely,
AUSPatriotman
