| who had corresponded with him while he was in Iraq? From Atlanta -- well, what more could you want? Marines and kids, together.... Your feel good story of the week. Today we have FANTASTIC news! You have to go see Mr. Boortz for details, but here's scrap to chew on: "Well .. now the good news. Next Monday, July 18th, the students from the Carson Middle School who wrote those letters to Sgt. Richardson, along with their teacher, Matthew Lund, their parents and other community leaders, will get their chance to meet and talk with Sgt. Richardson and several of his fellow Marines. The meeting will take place at the Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation and will be followed by a lakeside barbecue at the Ritz to show support for Sgt. Richardson, his fellow Marines and the students from Carson Middle School who's letters meant so much. The Ritz-Carlton Lodge will be providing rooms to the Marines ... and having stayed at this particular Ritz-Carlton, let me tell you ... these Marines are in for a treat. " Dear Friends, The two special events planned for Marine Sergeant Richardson and the children from Carson Middle School are becoming more special everyday. These events are being held at The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation on Monday, July 18th. In addition to the private presentation at 5:30 pm for the 6th grade students who corresponded with the Marines, we have arranged to have a "HUMVIE" at the 6:30 pm event which is open to the entire public! There will be helmets and flak jackets for all the children to put on and have their pictures taken. Also, we will be providing gifts for all the children. Both those who attend the private function and any child attending the picnic afterwards. The children attending the private function will receive a gift bag containing a Marine ball cap, a Marine commemorative coin in a display case and a small US flag. There will be a small flag and a Marine ball cap for every child at the picnic! Also, there will be small flags for all the adults attending the picnic. We will be furnishing the Marines with a gift bag as well. It will contain these same items and a Marine 3'x5' flag, a Marine license plate, a deck of those neat Iraqi playing cards and many more items. We are expecting between 25 and 30 Marines at least, in addition to Sergeant Richardson! Heh, guess this principal now knows who is important Finally, for the evenings entertainment, Zac Brown has agreed to play at the Picnic Celebration!!! The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation is going all out for this special occasion. They have even arranged to put many of the Marines up for the evening at the Lodge. Also, the Picnic Celebration and BBQ meal is FREE....compliments of the Ritz-Carlton Lodge! Sheezz, I love these stories of support for these incredible guys and gals |

| #6 Someone in Marketing at Ritz-Carlton has their head screwed on straight. This will get way more publicity than the cost of the rooms or the BBQ. They will look like friggin heroes (which they are) for doing it and then they get the real bonus of actually performing a selfless act in support of our brave Marines. Win, win, win! |

| #4 I agree with .com! Fire her @rse! Living here in HOTlanta, let me tell you, those are some schwanky digs! That was where Cheney went quail hunting when he came down campaigning in 2004. I'd also like to add that when my wife was teaching (Kindergarten), her class made a big gift bag and video for the troops. She kept a copy of the video and every once in a while, we watch it. Makes all the moonbattery seem petty when I see these kids and how much it means to them! |
