Re: Please take a look -- this is the only mail I will ever forward to you. Chris

Hi

Once you are forwarding this email you should as a minimum clean up the

email before sending it out. What purpose do all the >'s on the email serve.

Also, is Jo Oeltjen a personal friend of yours?

Now for the sad news. This is one of those urban legends that circulate the

internet. It never happened as told.

Simply Google Sergeant Steeley and see what you get.

--- Hi : As Zavie said, this is a urban legend just like a lot of the

other stuff we get in the mail, but it could be a really nice thing if it worked

just like the yellow ribbons that we still see all over the place. Maybe we

will see the red on Fridays catch on somewhere. This war sure is a mess, and

our troops are over there dying and fighting for us. They sure do need our

prayers and a show of support.
