Thank you for your response. I was impressed by the information and could not understand why you would not want to take credit for authoring this piece. Good luck in your writing - perhaps you will get something done for this family.

Thank you. Over the years, I also developed a tremendous focus on what was truly important in life, not that I didn't know it already, but the circumstances surrounding Scott Speicher's case make you realize all the more what's precious. I also sensed he needed an advocate and someone who could turn what they knew into something that could get people to take notice. He never had this much exposure until now. I should say, too, that I'm a very modest person. I didn't write what I did for me but for him. While other folks may have a different reason, that's mine. It's a matter of honor and of commitment.

Part 4 is on the www.pilotonline.com site--"Returning to Iraq." I haven't seen it loaded onto FreeRepublic yet. My system doesn't pick up the pictures like some of the others, so if anybody out there would be so kind as to load it on, I'd appreciate it.
