Former Submariners skills needed now!

Since 10-24-01

Monday, October 22, 2001

Please help get the word out to former Submariners. There are so many who are already well trained to help deal with the effects of weapons of mass destruction ("WMD").

Starting right after December 7, 1941, our fellow Submariners took the fight to the Japanese, thereby allowing the United States to ramp up to the war effort. In 1955, along came nuclear power -- in 1959 there was "41 for Freedom" that became so successful at winning the cold war. Today, our services are needed once again at the forefront of this new WMD attack on America.

Please join me in rounding up all the Submarine folks we can that could assist in local, regional or even national training and supervision of others. Anyone trained in Decon is an ideal person. There are fifty states and a couple of possessions. Former Submariners are in all. We need to get them on the net talking to each other and organizing into local and regional groups.

I will add their names to my rapidly expanding list for updates. Please do the same with mine. I just spent a week in Washington, DC. In the information business you are in now, you are painfully aware that we are ill prepared to handle the potential onslaught of mass casualties and especially those people who are contaminated. We must help those contaminated be treated and yet stay away from medical facilities so that those facilities do not become contaminated and thereby unusable.

Very truly yours,
