Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Ross Hall Message: Joe, glad you're okay. Personally, I hate to fly, though I've done a lot of it. Never know when one of those things is gonna fall down on you. Was in a light plane crash years back, ended up upside down in a field short of the runway at Opaloka in south Florida. Really got my blood up, I'll tell you. But the big birds don't float through the air like the little ones. They say now the plane pancaked the house, not dove on it. And it was going the wrong way. How can that be? I can see them getting turned around, but how could they just sit down on that house? No skidding, no collateral damage. Is that heavy windshear downdraft, or what? You aviators out there, please tell us how this could happen. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: For Ross Hall: Ross, I went ahead and posted your information about your new book. I've asked the webmasters of both USARA and 75th Ranger Association to post information about you new book, and to include it in their quarterly Magazines. I've also asked Sherry Klein to post the info on ANET. I'd like to see all Rangers who served there once get an opportunity to order one, and not all use the internet, or belong to USMRA. Hope it helps. Like I said....3 copies for me please...check is in the mail. Thanks...Joe |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: Hi Earl, You can also go to the Veterans Administration Home Page....type in VA, and search around on that site. You'll find a lot of benefits and instructions on how to file for those benefits. The new GI Bill is now in effect, and information updates are available about that program as well. You can also down load a full booklet in Veterans Benefits, where to go, and how to apply. |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: ron rice Message: i received a surprise in the mail today after 44 years. My air medal w/2 oak leaf clusters. 75+combat hours over RVN. One more medal to go. I rescued a crashed chopper crew from war zone D using mcguire rigs in nov 66. hope fully i will get that one soon. Also, army times said the problem with the threats and explosions were from Benning support troops. Still, it gives MRC a bad rap.. RLTW Ron (Ropes) Rice |
