  1. The following is from my church's servanthood secretary. It is intended for Americans, but if you
    are so inclined to write to one of these service people, feel free. They could use a word of

    had a service in Iraq and it was quite devastating for his
    soldiers

  2. Do you have the permission of these soldiers to publish their information in public forum? In
    addition to the names and addresses, you have included some highly personal background info on some
    of the troops. I sure hope they don't mind. I am concerned about security for the troops and their
    families. Thank you. PAT in VA/USA, cutting the troops' info here

    I'm shocked.

    Anything with "Please send this list to others." has to be avoided. If it isn't yet it will become a
    nuisance on the net. There is usually a clause in an ISP acceptable use policy to say that such
    pyramid mailings are not allowed.

    And passing on personal details of service soldiers is asking for trouble. If I were you I expect a
    call from the security services in the very near future.

    Apologies offered Pat. The lady who sent this to me (along with several other hundred on the list)
    got it from this website. In addition to that, I suppose you would be offended at the Wall of Honor
    at my church which honors about 2000 service men and women and encourages letters, e-mail and care
    packages being sent in support. To the best of my knowledge, none who has received those letters and
    cards has been offended--nor their families--including the family of one young soldier off of that
    wall whose military funeral I attended less than a week ago.

  8. Amabile: Please note: you do not have to apologize to me. For one thing, I am not on that list. For
    another, I never said I was 'offended.' That word did NOT appear in my note. I was/am just concerned
    about the security and privacy of those troops. FYI: you suppose wrong, I am NOT 'offended' about
    your wall at your church. BTW: I have numerous friends in the service, including several who have
    recently been in Iraq, or are there right now. They prefer to keep their personal information
    private. This does not mean they do not like mail ... they surely do! It does not mean they are
    'offended.' It means they like to have some control over who has access to their information. PAT,
    not 'offended' in Virginia
