Hello,

Not much  mail today but I want to get out the information about Joe Mackiewicz  I Co. that I picked up today via instant message. Joe was under age when he enlisted . Wounded in Southern France. Red Cross found out he was under age and he was discharged. He again enlisted in the paratroopers as soon as he became of age. He recently became very ill. He was always intererested in Mail Call from the very beginning.

Steve's email address is smackiewicz4@aol.com

Darrell:
        I believe that I exposed that Jezebel (517th Para Bear Napper) both in the Static Line and in the Thunderbolt many years ago only to find out later that my wife Bettte and been a willing accomplice. The shock has somewhat diminished my memory and as far as the Para Bear (Colonel Honey Bear Retired, !st Airborne Bear Brigade) is concerned he is presently retired and drawing 100% disability induced by the embarrassment of being bear napped by a couple of female hussies. I have a vague memory of casting some blame on Dick Seitz and others for sheltering the Para Bear Napper and her
Gang. I will have to go back and look at the old articles in order to refresh my memory and stave off the possibilities of a class action legal entanglement.
Regards, Tom

  How can anyone not feel such pride that the wives of the men lost on 9/11 had the strength and resolve to go to Iran and show their support for the Troops there?  I admit I cried and I know there were tears there not only from women, but men too.  For once I'm proud to be human!
