I deleted the post “Remember”. It never occurred to me that someone on this BB would turn it into a contentious issue. The memory deserves better than that. Way to go Hywel.
Blue- I hope my post w/ the reply to Hywel didn’t cause you to delete the thread. If so I, am truely sorry. There are some things that I can’t tolerate.
As stated befor, I thought it was wonderful and something that should be read. Thanks again.

Blue & Jeff,
Too bad it’s deleted. I don’t care HOW many times it is published or posted, IMHO it NEVER gets “old”.
Thanks Bluehackle for having posted it. I was also amazed that anyone could say anything negative.

Blue, would you mind e-mailing that to me. I had planned on refering some friends who are vets from Viet Nam and some from the Middle East to that thread, but now it’s gone.
No rush, just whenever you have time.

It was Hywel’s attitude and comments that caused me to delete the post. The message should not be turned into a platform for anger.
I will email a copy to anyone who wants it.

Please send me a copy as I would like to pass it on to some friends.
Thanks,

How 'bout if you just repost it…and have JC lock the post. That way all of us, who missed it the first time, can see it.

Please…what Betty says…

JC
I don’t understand.
Do you want me to post it again so you can lock it? Should I just email it to you?
I will do what ever you suggest.
bluehackle
Please, when you have time would you send me a copy also. I should have copied it but was busy and it got away from me.

Bluehackle,
Please send me a copy too. Thanks.
I fly fish the salt because the voices in my head tell me to…
Wouldn’t it be easier for Bluehackle if the requests were sent directly to him then all he would have to do is “reply”?
Thanks, for mine Blue…
Respect Your Elders!
Bluehackle,
You’ve got mail. Bless you and have a happy 4th of July.

In the words of Patrick Henry,“Give me liberty, or give me death!”
Duck’man, it probably would be easier to make a direct request as you suggest but I think the “public” request is also a public showing of support for Bluehackle.

Agreed, Silvertop…
It was actually one of the reasons I posted and also you see how Nighthawk did it.
Respect Your Elders!
Many thanks to everyone who appreciated this and to everyone who asked for a copy. I know that it has been presented before and probably will be again but that does not make it less moving. It’s good to know there are a lot of great people out there who still care for each other. May you all catch a fish.
