I wrote about this a week or so ago but a reminder is a good idea.
From the PC Free Zone
US Marine Colonel Simcock, the commander of USMC Regimental Combat Team 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. I’ve attached an excerpt from an interview with him. So far, they’ve only mustered 2,000 emails. That’s a crying shame compared to the amount of crap I get daily in email.
The email address is:
RCT-6lettersfromh@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil
I KNOW it means so much to them to get letters from home. I might add that it means a LOT to the Army guys who are over there for very long periods of time. They get weary and a little reminder of home means more than I think we can even imagine.
It only takes a minute.
