March 2008 updates
It has been a spell since I have posted anything in this blog I know but untowed things have been going on. One I had to buy a new computer the end of October and set that up and get all the programs and applications off the old crashed unit to the new unit. Then it was T-Day and then Christmas and winter all at the same time. Next a lot of upgrades and adjustments to said computer and more.
And it’s still winter and freezing cold with snow here in CNY. All you people that I exchange email with know that so I don’t have to go into details for that.I was able to add some pictures to the My Gallery on the right side of the blog and will add more in the next few weeks. Mostly of some of the animals and maybe a few family and snow pictures. So keep checking back to see what has been added. In the meanwhile I’ll try to post more often as things happen here.
Take one minute to help marines
Blackfive’s Grim interviewed Marine Colonel Simcock, Commander of RCT-6 in Iraq. This is what Col. Grim asked that will only take a minute of your time:
COL. SIMCOCK: (Chuckles.) I’ll tell you what, the one thing that all Marines want to know about — and that includes me and everyone within Regimental Combat Team 6 — we want to know that the American public are behind us. We believe that the actions that we’re taking over here are very, very important to America. We’re fighting a group of people that, if they could, would take away the freedoms that America enjoys.
If anyone — you know, just sit down, jot us — throw us an e- mail, write us a letter, let us know that the American public are behind us. Because we watch the news just like everyone else. It’s broadcast over here in our chow halls and the weight rooms, and we watch that stuff, and we’re a little bit concerned sometimes that America really doesn’t know what’s going on over here, and we get sometimes concerns that the American public isn’t behind us and doesn’t see the importance of what’s going on. So that’s something I think that all Marines, soldiers and sailors would like to hear from back home, that in fact, yes, they think what we’re doing over here is important and they are in fact behind us .
The Marines have set up a special email address to send a supportive message to the Marines is: RCT-6lettersfromh@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil. The emails are being scanned by the PAO before being printed and distributed to individual Marines.
And, guess what?, the RCT-6 has a blog at Fighting 6th Marines
BLACKFIVE ADDS: AFTER A FEW DAYS, WE HAVE ONLY GOTTEN THE MARINES ABOUT 2,000 EMAILS. WE COULD USE SOME HELP IN GETTING THE WORD OUT.

This is the H.S. picture from the 61 yearbook. Placed it here to ask how all our classmates might like all the pictures from the 61 yearbook posted into My Gallery.
