Time to crank up the FREEPER machine again Ronnie. This misplaced paperwork story by Cantwell's office is BS if true. I listened to Bruce Crandall on Medved's show the other night. It was a great interview and call in session. LTC Crandall won't press the issue for himself. It will take people like you and me to right a wrong.

LET'S ROLL!

A letter/email to VFW HQ may be in order. They will review and if they accept it-will start things moving in the right direction. 1.2 million members.

Might also highlight Mark Kirk. Until taking office last year, he was still flying a EA-6B in the reserves.

AR, do you have any articles of info on this "loss"?

ALOHA RONNIE,

When you have the time, take a look at this: HEROES OF THE VIETNAM GENERATION by James Webb

A friend of mine sent me the article just this week and recommends it as required reading. I think you will agree.

Thanks for the ping. I got to listen to Crandall on The Michael Medved Show and he
really impressed me, as well as filling in some of the "gaps" the I either missed or weren't
in the film.

ALOHA RONNIE, you called in to that show didn't you? I've heard you on the
radio so many times...I start to lose track! LOL! Guess I need some of that "Focus Factor"
or "Feed My Brain" stuff!"


My wheelchair-bound father just finished reading "Blackhawk Down"...I've got
him set to start into "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young" for his next book.

I have just learned as a result of my calling into BRUCE "Snake" CRANDALL
on The MICHAEL MEDVED Show Monday


If I'd only learn how to speed-read (so I could do each thread justice)...I'd known that
yes, I did hear you on Monday!

My scrambled memory is my reward for trying to get work done and listen to the radio
at the same time.
I'm not the world's greatest "multi-tasker"!

I called Maria Cantwell's office and spoke with Sara R., she said she doesn't know anything about this matter and that the person who handles military stuff was out sick today. She took my number and all the details regarding this and said she will get back to me with something tomorrow.
Anything else I can do?
