Subj: OK CITY REUNION INTERVIEWS
Date: 4/17/2003 10:01:42 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: brianebehrens@hotmail.com
Ben,
I was hoping you might put the word out in MAIL CALL during the coming weeks
concerning my work on the Camp Toccoa Veterans Project. I will be attending
the the reunion in OK City and will be there all week to meet and interview
veterans interested in contributing to the project.
I am compiling oral histories for the the Stephens County Historical Museum
in Toccoa, GA, for the purpose of creating an archive of interviews of
veterans who began their Airborne training at Toccoa. While I am interested
in capturing details on their Toccoa days, it is equally important to be
able to secure their memories of their time in advanced training after
Toccoa and in the ETO. Also, I will not limit my interviews to Toccoa
veterans only---all veterans have equally important experiences to share and
I would like to hear from them if they so desire.
I am asking that those veterans in attendance please bring with them their
photos from their time at Toccoa as well as North Carolina, Tennessee and
Europe. I will be able to make copies of the veterans' photos at the reunion
using a digital scanner that I am bringing with me.
FOR THOSE 517TH VETERANS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE OK CITY REUNION I CAN
ARRANGE A PHONE INTERVIEW WITH YOU AS MEANS OF COLLECTING YOUR HISTORY.

Cub Scout crawls grave to grave, honoring the dead - Sunday, 05/25/03
My sister in Nashville had told me about this little boy. With young people like this, we don't need to worry about our freedom.
Have a blessed Memorial Day,
Tom

Subj: Can you believe it: 5/25/03
This one is impossible to believe. Scroll down to the text for your reading astonishment.
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm Flight 103!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military barracks in Saudi Arabia!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001!
REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in
those vicious MUSLIM attacks!
Now the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a commemorative first class holiday postage stamp.
REMEMBER to adamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp when purchasing your stamps at the post office. To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.
REMEMBER to pass this along to every patriotic AMERICAN
you know, whether by e-mail or other wise.

Ben, Howard's comments/suggestions are important to all of us. The comment with respect to urging all members to provide input is very important. The thought of selecting one place for all future reunions and having professionals make preparations deserve serious thought. Lets all bring our views to the meeting.
