Good evening,
Well the comments are out on the joke about the missing A-10. I have to agree
that this was placed on the list using poor judgment and poor taste. I am
currently in the service of this great country in the United States Army. I am
proud of this nation and all it stands for.... including freedom of speech. But
we need to exercise that freedom with good judgment. A brave man piloted that
plane, and was slandered the instant the aircraft became missing. All the
popular theories were out, ranging from suicide, to stealing the plane to bomb
the Oklahoma City Bombing Trial. Disgusting to say the least, we treat our
heroes this way?? It is about time that we, as Americans, started to think of
where we want to be in this world. Where do we place our values, and who do we
give "hero status" to? Dennis Rodman?? Who do we want to represent us?? Who do
we want our children to look up to?? Capt. Craig Button is a hero, and he died
in the service of his country. He became another name in the long list of
unheralded men and women who serve this great land. God only knows what demon
he met in the air over Colorado, but as a service man, I know the battle raged,
and Capt. Button did not die easily. May God bless his soul, and his family.
Any other members of this list who are current or former service....... one of
our own is down out there.... please help to remind others who may not
understand, to show some respect.
Best Regards,
Frederick Hopper, Sgt.
United States Army Military Police Corps.
