This is for those of you who have the common sense to learn the facts about Iraq and our war there!
(That is the MANY Facts PROVING the Iraq war is fully justified and is a very necessary part of our War On Terror!.)
US Marine Colonel Simcock, 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 those Marines are getting through the main stream media.
So far, they've only mustered 2,000 emails. That's a crying shame compared to the amount of fluff I get daily in email.
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" to be all done.
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. An excerpt from an interview with the Colonel:
''Is there anything that you and your Marines need that we could send you?''
COL. SIMCOCK: (Chuckles & says.)
'' I'll tell you what, one thing all Marines want to know about -- and that includes me and everyone within Regimental Combat Team 6 -- we want to know the American public are behind us.
We believe the actions that we're taking over here are very, very important to America. We're fighting a group of people who, if they could, would take away the freedoms 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.
So 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 behind us.
.... AND, PLEASE PASS THIS EMAIL ALONG TO YOUR FRIENDS! ... SHOW OUR MARINES WE CARE!
