Subj: WORDS FROM THE PRESIDENT ON NATIONAL OBSERVANCE OF SEPTEMBER 11

Date: 9/7/2002 8:08:57 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: BoomBoomAlicki
To: Ben517

"As we remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and the thousands of innocent lives lost on that day, we recall as well the outpouring of compassion and faith that swept our Nation in the face of the evil done that day. In designating September 6-8 as National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, I ask all Americans to join together in cities, communities, neighborhoods, and places of worship to honor those who were lost, to pray for those who grieve, and to give thanks for God's enduring blessings on our land. And let us, through prayer, seek the wisdom, patience, and strength to bring those responsible for the attacks to justice and to press for a world at peace.
In the aftermath of the attacks, the words of the Psalms brought comfort to many. We trust God always to be our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in time of trouble. Believing that One greater than ourselves watches over our lives and over this Nation, we continue to place our trust in Him.
As we confront the challenges before us, I ask you to join me during these Days of Prayer and Remembrance in praying for God's continued protection and for the strength to overcome great evil with even greater good."
--President George W. Bush, from the Presidential Proclamation for National Days of Prayers and Remembrance to be held September 6-8, 2002

Subj: Re: French Thank You!

Hi Ben,
Joyce has applied for the French Certificate two years in a row and have had absolutely no answer from them. We followed their directions very carefully including my discharge with all the 5 battles and enclosed a self addressed stamped envelope.
The first time we applied was May 2001 and the last was May 8. 2002 with a letter inquiring what happened to my application on March 11, 2002. We had to send to the French Consulate in Atlanta, GA. I really do not care, but Joyce would like to put it with memoirs from the war time. I know that Merle applied for it and I did E-mail him to ask him if he received it but he has not read the mail that was sent the beginning of last week. Wonder if any of the guys received this "Frendh Thank Your"?
I have been going for epidural shots at a pain clinic here for my back problems. Have had three and it has helped but it knocks my Diabetes out of control for about a week. Lucky we have this center here as I was hardly able to walk but now getting around pretty good.
We will not be attending the mini in Florida. Sorry not to be able to make it as we enjoyed the last two years there. Hope everyone has a great time. We will try to make the reunion in OK but will have to see how things are as the time gets nearer.
It was with great sorry that we heard of the passing of our good friend Jane Mars. Our sympathy goes out to Gene. We did send a card. We enjoyed seeing them in Bismark so I guess we never know what is going to happen to us.
Best wishes to all and to you and Fran, Ben.
Leo and Joyce Turco

Subj: Knee Surgery
Date: 9/8/2002 8:16:36 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: BoomBoomAlicki
To: Ben517

Had L-knee surgery in 93...Results great however, in 95 became infected and had a re-do. Lost some flexibility after the last surgery otherwise A-Okay.  No pain since. If you plan on one get all the information about possible infection etc. Also for how long is the inplant good for.  Was told it was good for only 10 years. Lastly, consider your the status of your health and attitude. There also is the possibility of a blood clot and stroke.
