Dearest Troy,
Regarding my
attendance at the E-2-7
Reunion:
I will be able to
attend the first 3-days only
because my family has a big
"get-together" scheduled for
Sun., May 6th, and I am not
allowed to excuse myself
from it.
Footnote: You recently
informed us about your
"episode" and now the
"kick-in-ass" Big-C!
I would like to inform
you that you will not be
allowed to succumb to either
without the expressed
permission of the E-2-7
Reunion Group. Any deviation
from this directive will
make you subject to a Court
Martial!
To help keep your
spirits up, I admire the
determination you plan to
fight these two bastards
with. Half the battle has to
do with your frame of mind;
so keep on pluggin' away--in
true Marine tradition.
Remembering you as I do from
our earlier association,
that should be no problem.
Semper-Fi,
Jim
MY RESPONSE:
I will carry out
orders as directed; AYE AYE,
SIR!
I assure you your kind
words are an inspiration.
Many Thanks to you and to
all of my wonderful Marine
Buddies for your prayers and
words of support.
Semper Fi,
Troy
