Ben -

I received the room number lists and I'm excited that the Washington, DC reunion will be well-attended!  Yes, the rooms for early arrivals are indeed sold out, but there are still ample rooms left for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights - and these days are the actual duration of the reunion.

Please, everyone, keep reserving your rooms and let's get the order forms into Armed Forces Reunions for the reunion registration and activities!  We need to start planning for numbers in the Hospitality Room and at the meals.

Stay tuned - I believe that we'll be able to announce our keynote speaker for the final banquet in the next week.  Suffice to say that I'm very happy.

We are so looking forward to seeing everyone in our nation's capital!  Come and do as much or as little as you'd like.  Come join us for a wonderful and heartfelt reunion of friends old and new, across the generations.

Warm regards to all my favorite troopers -

Claire Giblin

Dear Ben, I can't thank you enough for your help. These morning reports are exactly what I am looking for. It's the day to day life that tells so much especially when it is put together with the history of what was happening at that moment in time. Your friend, Bob Dodds

Ben,

     Ben, I am still alive, however not totally well.

     I have  been out of the net and almost with the ranks of the awol.

      Returned from another trip to Europe and returned with what
appeared to be a near fatal case of Flu "A."

      As usual daughter Karen, RN had me in the ER and after two or
three weeks has brought me back to the point where I can now enjoy the
fact that the sun does come up in the morning and it does set in the
west.

      Now running thru about a dozen of your e-mails. Quickly, some of
the items you noted.

      I am so sorry to hear of the loss of a number of our great
warriors. Our good friend and 517th supporter, "Aime," and my squad
leader, George Ross of F Company; and so many others - God Bless our
departed friends and their friends and loved ones.

      Ben, about the AOL program. I have been a member of the AOL
program and it does, however slowly, offer many features. I finally
have wireless at my Oregon home, however none at my California home. I
therefore am in a CA coffee shop that offers excellent coffee, pretty
Cal Poly ladies, and free wireless. With the availability of my
wireless, I have endeavored to move to the Qwest (gmail) program from
the AOL. I found that it is not a easy move have had some learning
shortcomings. I hope to iron these problems out.

      So, for the future and to ease your AOL problem, please forward
future email to genesir@gmail.com.

      Now that I am almost on my feet-will be around for awhile, however
I am traveling for the rest of this month and another trip to Europe
at the end of the month.

----- ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT

In WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England , its people and peace.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America .   If you would like to participate: Each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central) (7:00 PM Mountain) (6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States , our troops, our citizens, and for a Godly nation.

If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along.

Someone said if Christians really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Thank You, and God Bless America
