Reminder
Hi all. I went into the "Helping Deb With the Site" post today and noticed a comment, from Mary that she had heard from the 1SGT of their unit. I should have caught and said something before now. But I too, forget that others (not our friends) may be reading this; as well as friends and loved ones of our soldiers. So with that said, if you notice your post has been edited..it has. I went through and edited all instances of first and last names that I came across. I also edited the extent of the injuries the soldier suffered. This may seem like locking the barn door after the horse has been stolen, but I prefer to think of it as a learning experience, one I am grateful to have been reminded about. In the future, please refrain from posting first and last names. Generally I would avoid the use of rank as well. Refer to your soldier by the first name or nickname only. Please use private emails to exchange last names. Thanks for your cooperation in keeping our soldiers safe.
thank you so much for doing that. I feel alot better now. I, as a
soldiers wife, should have known better. I appreciate your quick response to this. It is a learning experience for all. Sometimes we forget whats going out there in the world. We greatly appreciate this
site and are thankful for it. God Bless all.
Thanks again
Mary 303rd

Mary, I'm glad the reminder was taken well. I had my husband read it before I posted it, but I still feared coming off as overbearing. Thanks again for the encouragement.

You can use first names just not last names. I had talked about this with Deb a month or so ago as I was concerned about that the posts are all public but we didn't want to make them password protected as many might not post cuz it becomes too much work. So please just first names, no last names except in private e-mails.

Great memorial page for 1-505 - may God watch over their families and may the fallen soldiers rest in Peace.
