Today’s Mission: Email Some Support to the Troops
- Posted by Beth on June 30th, 2007 filed in General, Iraq, Support the Troops, The War
This one is easy. Wild Thing is asking for people to send an email–even just a quick “thanks for what you do” email to some Marines in Iraq.
US Marine Colonel Simc*ck, the commander of USMC Regimental Combat Team 6 in Iraq, is asking for 6,000 positive emails to his Marines.
That’s one email for each Marine in his RCT command. COL Simc*ck is concerned about the effect of the negative barrage that those Marines are getting through the electronic media. I’ve attached an excerpt from an interview with him. So far, they’ve only mustered 2,000 emails. That’s a crying shame compared to the amount of crap I get daily in email.
I hear ya, sister. I rack up 2000 emails in a matter of days (not just blog-related email, other stuff too). Surely we can do better than that.
Send a hello, a thank you, a “you’re doing a great job,” something, to a Marine HERE. Overcome that shyness; think of the good you’ll be doing, and it costs you nothing but a few minutes of your time. Please pass on this information and get your friends to send an email, too! Every bit makes a difference!
I sent an email, and included the link to the blog in my signature. Think: if someone happens to see this post but they don’t get more email, that would totally suck. Hell yes, I’m putting y’all on the spot here. :mrgreen: (Pssst…that means you!)

I wrote about this a week or so ago but a reminder is a good idea.
