He will remain there for some time. The Battalion and friends are deeply saddened by this experience. Please pray and hope for Mike's recovery, his family, and his friends.
Mike - we want you to know that were with you all the way, that we love you, and we believe in you!
EVERYONE - Please write letters to soldiers overseas in Korea and Iraq. Later I can find some Marines or other branch of service to send letters to in areas around the world. These letters will be to soldiers that don't usually get much mail, and would greatly appreciate your support. In these letters, you may give them a little bit of general information about you, let them know whats going on in America right now, let themknow how much you apreciate their service. It's little random acts of compassion and respect like this that can show that you support our troops. Please, help our soldiers know that we love them, and we support them, and want them back safely and as soon as possible, and to complete thier missions successfully! Thank you so much those of you who write! Please give them to either Colonel, Master Gunny, your Platoon Commander/Sgt, or me personally. - C/Cpl Scarborough
All news coming soon... I have to get it from my other computer! Thanks for your time.
