I received the information at the below URL from a Marine Vietnam  Veteran this morning. I had never heard of this terrible situation before. It made me very sad, and then it made me very mad. When you open the URL and get past the car commercial, and then to the gist of the matter in the report, it should make you sad, and then very mad, too. At least, if you are a God fearing, patriotic American citizen, it SHOULD.


Now that this is out in the open maybe something can be done to remedy the situation. This is going out to every veteran, every serviceman, and every relative and/or friend of a Veteran and/or serviceman I know. 
We have plenty of time to send the corny jokes and the silly hoaxes back and forth all the time. This weekend and the days to follow let's send the below report around the United States of America  instead. It will be going out to each one  in my address book.

I clicked on the link and went to the station's Web site then clicked on the story of the ashes...only got commericals.

I no longer forward or post these types of things and this one confirms for me why I don't.

The Patriot Guard Riders have addressed this issue in their Website...  I just returned from the services for Lance Corporal Eric Hall of Punta Gorda, Florida.... and am just too drained to post a link.  Eric died in a small diameter culvert, where he sought refuge from his inner self...a victim of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome... the Horrors he imagined are beyond most of us to understand...

Please go onto the PGR site (you may have to register to get into the proper one...)  Find the One dealing with unclaimed "remains" (how horribly clinical and disassociating) and find out the lengths to which efforts are put to repatriate these soldiers with their real identities and secure for them an honorable, and solumne recognition and resting place.

These are issues that transcend petty Bull-Crap like Dem v. Necon or Rub v. Hell's Angel... Speak with UNITY, Folks... this is an issue that rests with the souls of EACH of us... They are our Uncles, Fathers... They are Men and Women we owe our lives to...

OK...

Rant Over...
