I
will be getting together with Carrol and Chosa
in order to put the video on DVD. Once this
has been completed we will post how and when
to order copies. All procedes less cost of copying
and S&H will go to taskforce grizzly.org in
order to help offset the cost Mcgehee is putting
forward. If you guys can spare a few bucks,
I'm sure Kauffman and Mcgehee would appreciate
some help in their efforts to bring Lane and
Porters families to the reunion and also the
cost of the web site. |

found the HALO DVD set on the Discovery Channel
website for $29.95 ships out April 15, 2004.
I'll tell you Schindler looks great, he makes
freefall look easy. I just sent him an email
to get his address, so my guys and myself can
send a CARE package to him. That guy's career
is what we all wished we could've become in
the Corps. Do you guys remember him and Gerstandt
used to be roommates talk about a gungy group
their head looked like the MCI library. |

First
and foremost I would like to thank John Porter,
Tom and April Lane for visiting and giving us
the opportunity to meet with you. Our reunion
would not be complete without your attendance...
THANK YOU!
I can't say enough how great it was to see everyone
back together... and I want to thank the Marines,
Sailors and family members that made the trek
out and who have helped get this operation moving...
can't say enough how memorable this was.
Personally, I would like to thank:
Jim Fulks- for donating money for meals... sorry
you had a death in the family and was unable
to attend.
Ed Conger - for correcting some misunderstandings
and putting up with Savage's cursing.
Darlene and Keith Hilton- for locating Lima
Co., helping organize the reunion, appropriating
door prizes.
Knauls- for locking on our rooms.
Kauffman- for locating our fallen brothers family.
Chosa- for busting out our t-shirts.
Carrell- always lending a hand.
Ditto- for all the great stories.
Sangi- for always doing dumb stunts that make
me laugh.
Corral- locking on TAPS at the reunion.
Savage- for you nonstop cursing.
Gadsen- great speech... couldn't say it any
better.
Hylton & Forget- for still being in the USMC...
kicking down doors and kicking in teeth.
Edwards- sharing your story... enough said.
Cullen- for not being in jail.
Clovis- being the funniest (alcohol induced)
cop I've ever seen.
Pennington- local Motor T and S-3.
Cordero, Wessel, Dionisio, Alsteens, Bergman,
Boufford, Brooks, Buch, Garcia, Kettle, Lind,
Martinez (Marty), Martinez (TC), McGinty, Mills,
Neitzel, Ontiverisotto, Slater, Snell, Cordero,
Dionisio and Wessel - for showing up and making
our event possible.
Marine Corps League- for setting up a great
dinner and allowing us gather for a reunion.
Reflecting back on our Saturday night muster...
I think it's safe to say that we all had closure
of some type... amongst ourselves, for shedding
light on our past experiences and having the
opportunity to visit with Christian and Brian's
family. I left Las Vegas with a greater sense
of relief and belonging... one thing we cannot
deny is that WE ARE STILL BROTHERS AND WILL
ALWAYS BE FAITHFUL! |

I
wanted to reiterate what everyone has been saying
about Sat. Thanks Mike, Kauffman, the Hiltons,
and everyone that attended. I don't think my
stomach will heal for a while from all the laughing.
I thought that Sat. might turn into a "I love
you man" fest, however since it didn't let me
say "I love you all" (not the same love as Sangi
and Knauls share.) Can't wait till Tampa, but
I'm sure my liver can. |

I
know what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas buuut....
I had three marines on Sunday afternoon say
" Doc, I can't go out another night." So Sunday
evening the four of us mysteriously ended up
outside a club. Curiously the club was just
finishing a male review. Turns out the demographics
included 88 women, three marines and one corpsman.
WOW!!! Only in Vegas. What a night. It was off
the hook. |
