Gratitude, Meriwether Ball, Editor

"God bless
you for your selfless, unstinting efforts relative to getting the written
word out telling the stories my younger, braver brothers. These last four
years have been very taxing and painful; I admire your conviction,
compassion, and courage in continuing to stand in the very face of it. Yes,
Meriwether, it takes a lot of fortitude and stamina to document and recount
these very sad tales of adversity of the most horrific kind; Remember: chin
down, hands up, shuffle-skip forward, keep punching!!!!!! Semper Fi,"
"It's
marvelous! You should issue a notice about the need for tissue, though.
Thank you for the website."
"I
ventured here via another website and reluctant as I am to bookmark
anything, I bookmarked this page. May God bless you and your work and may
He give you and your readers their heart's desires."
"I
just read an interesting article about Ms Ball and her efforts in the
Virginia Pilot this Memorial Day. Congratulations and Thank you for a
wonderful job. Although never a Marine ( I was Air Force during the Viet Nam
era and lost several friends there). Keep up the good work"
"Corps Stories is Terrific and the
new Enzine [Leatherneck
Magazine's new edition] I
just received is Quality as well!
"Sir, I am a former Royal
Marine served from 1957 to 1968 and did serve for a short while alongside US
Marines on board the 6th Fleet Command ship USS Mount Mckinlay off North Africa
.I met a bunch of US Marines in Malta GC in 1961 whilst in 40 Commando Royal
Marines and am still in touch with one of them ,that say's it all that the bond
between Marines is strong and will never be broken no matter from what country
you come from.My heart go's out to the fallen Warriors and their kinfolk but one
thing is for sure "They will be guarding the Gates of Heaven" Regards, Aye. Rod.
"I am
Gunnery Sgt. Robert Knoll and I authored a piece
on SgtMaj. Michael Curtin featured on your website. I just wanted to say
that your site does a wonderful job of honoring those who have made the ultimate
sacrifice and I am honored to be a part of that. Since writing that piece, I
have deployed to Iraq twice, in addition to providing assistance in Indonesia
during Operation Unified Assistance. Be proud of what today’s service members
are doing for this world of ours. Thanks and Semper Fidelis.
"I
am not a former Marine but a 16 year old. My father, however is as well as one
of my teachers, Mr. Robert Odiorne. I support all of you 100% and I hope that
everyone in Iraq is doing okay. My heart goes out to all of the families that
have lost a family member. I appreciate what they died for. With out these men
where would we be today. Your site is wonderful and I am so glad that it is here
for people to come visit. All of the pictures touched my heart and it killed me
to see all of the young children that will never really get to be with their
dads or moms or any other relative. Thank you to the soldiers risking their
lives and to those who created this site.
"
"Thank You for
listing my son's story on your site. He was very proud of what he was doing, and
his mother and I was proud of the man he became. To the Marines I served with
and I look forward to service with. "Semper Fi" and thank you from a father of
a MARINE!" "I am
a Marine stationed at Parris Island. I write for the base newspaper here. I think it's
awesome that you put these stories out there for people to read, for free without any
membership fees. I think it's important to honor the men and women who are serving in
harm's way. It allows family members to hear the story from the eyes and ears of the
Marines, not a sensationalist reporter. Thanks again and keep up the good work" "I am
a former Marine and I would like to say thank you for your wonderful website, and thank
you for honoring our fallen brothers and sisters. It brings tears to my eyes seeing the
names of our brave warriors that have given their all for us, but it is good to see them
honored. Again, a heartfelt THANK YOU!! Semper Fidelis!" "Semper
Fi! Outstanding website! Thank you so much for remembering all those young men and women!
We are truly blessed to have the Corps still strong and proud!" "Ron
Tucker (GoodToGoVideo.com)
sent us your web site and I have to say it is really great. I went in to check my
e-mails and went to your site and started reading and was almost late for work.
You should be really proud of what you have done for our family the
Marines..... Semper Fi Once again Thank You and I thank you form the Yellow Foot
Prints Detachment of the Marine Corps League and I will also pass your web site to our
Chapter of WMA. Thank You again," "I'm an
'old' Marine and the father of a younger one. Outstanding website."
"This is a much needed website. Thanks for the
names, thanks for the stories." "As
the parent of a US Marine, I really appreciate your site." "Your
website is quite outstanding, you should be proud. Semper Fi" "I graduated from high school with
Elia and every day for the last month since his death have thought about him, his wife,
son, parents, twin sister... He was well-liked by his peers at school, his smile
just lit up a room. Thank you for honoring the memory of these Marines." "I just want you to know how much it means to my family and I that there
ARE people out there who do care. Once again thank you for a wonderful website." "My
daughter has a project called "Operation Homefront Quilts". We are sending a
handmade memorial quilt to every family of a U.S. service member killed in Iraq and
Afghanistan. We research all the military websites, such as yours, devoted to the fallen
to find out information about the family before we make a quilt or choose one from what
others have made. So far, we have sent quilts to 575 families but have sent a lot more
quilts than that as we send patriotic baby quilts if we find out they have children two or
under. We thank you for providing this website. It helps us to get to know them and we are
struck by what fine young people are dedicated to defending us for which we are very
grateful. Respectfully," "This
is a very touching and well put together site." "Websites
like yours and many others makes all the pain go away. When you loose somebody close
like a brother, the only thing that is left are memories of him and people who knew
him. That is why we came to the US from Poland, because we knew that the people
of this country care and those fallen heroes will never be forgotten. Terrorism is
the worst organization in the world, US can never stop fighting terrorists
and those who are connected to them." "May the Good Lord guide you
in your mission to bring us these fine stories and lasting tributes, and may He watch over
our sons and daughters, husbands and wives, who watch over us and protect us from harm's
way." "I applaud you for what you
are doing for our Marines, their families, and the many people who will learn more
about the Corps through your stories. You are to be commended for your dedication,
initiative, and compassion. Your stories are uplifting, thought provoking, and
entertaining. Please keep up the great work. Well done!" "Very well done and I
know that this will be the beginning of something that will provide healing." "As always, fine
job." "Hi, my name is Janisa
Hooks, I am the oldest sister to Michael Vann Johnson
Jr., who was killed in action in Iraq on March 25, 2003. I would like to take this
time to thank you for setting up a page regarding my brother. I loved him very much, we
all did and he will be missed. He died for our country and that in itself is an honor.
Once again, thank you." "You've done a great
job. Keep it up and Thanks!" "It is a wonderful
article and it does all Marines proud." "What a fine person
you are, what a good American." "Thanks again for
creating and maintaining the website. I will be passing it on to all of my former Marine
buddies, and some former Air Force, Army & Navy buddies as well." "Keep up the great
work! You should be very proud of the service you're providing with this web site." "Thank you for a
wonderful site. It is a true service to our Corps and our country." "May the Lord enable
you to fulfill your dream concerning the motive and desire of the CorpsStories." "It's a good thing you
are doing but wrenching. Every death is difficult." "[The Cozine interview] is our cover story of our Monday
Neighbors section. I'm sure our readers will appreciate your efforts." "Outstanding! Thanks
for introducing this great and dedicated Marine to so many readers."
