“Hi Rick, my name is Samuel Dellinger, I’m a Marine currently deployed to Afghanistan and being that today is the 29th anniversary (Oct. 23,1983-e-mail got lost in the shuffle) of the Marine barracks bombing I was hoping you could do a gallery on it in honor of my friend Henry Billings (see attached picture) who is a real American hero who got his first taste of combat during the bombings as Marine infantry, he then went on to finish his 6 year contract and enlisted in the army where he retired several years ago. This is a big day for Henry as it was his first combat experience and he lost friends, and ended up in a photo behind his 30 cal. machine gun in either Time or Newsweek. This day is also a big deal to Henry as 2 years ago he suffered an aneurysm and a double stroke that have left him walking with a cane for the rest of his life. If you can post a gallery in his honor it would mean the world to him. Either way thank you for what you do and I’m a big fan of the site.”
Great story (sorry for the late post)
