Ralph, I received the book yesterday and just finished reading it. I could
not put it down. It sure brought back a lot of memories and filled in a lot of
blanks that I was not aware of. As it turned out I talked to Blackie Bolduc
yesterday and told him I had just received the book. He said he was looking
forward to getting his copy. You did a great job. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the kind words of our book. I never know until you guys review and
let me know, and your reviews are the only ones I care about. I told my wife
that I sat down with you, Mike and Blackie a little over a year ago and told
y'all I was thinking of writing a book on the MRF, thanks to Albert, but had no
idea where to start. You guys took me under your wings, and trusted me, and I am
so happy that y'all like it. Jack Benedict, Charlie 4/47th, sent me a nice
letter also. I was very proud of the fact that I was able to include all the
different Navy and 2nd Brigade units, and hope it brings us all closer together,
for we truly were fighting the same communist forces and defeated them. We knew
so little about each other back then. Thanks for helping me. As I say to all my
brothers, you are all authorized to sign my books if anyone asks, and I hope
they do. For you are the real Stars and I merely a story teller.
Your friend,
