Simcock:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>COL. SIMCOCK: (Chuckles.) I&#8217;ll tell you what, the one thing that all Marines want to know about &#8212; and that includes me and everyone within Regimental Combat Team 6 &#8212; we want to know that the American public are behind us. We believe that the actions that we&#8217;re taking over here are very, very important to America. We&#8217;re fighting a group of people that, if they could, would take away the freedoms that America enjoys.<\/p>\n<p>\nIf anyone &#8212; you know, just sit down, jot us &#8212; <b>throw us an e- mail, write us a letter, let us know that the American public are behind us. Because we watch the news just like everyone else. It&#8217;s broadcast over here in our chow halls and the weight rooms, and we watch that stuff, and we&#8217;re a little bit concerned sometimes that America really doesn&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on over here, and we get sometimes concerns that the American public isn&#8217;t behind us and doesn&#8217;t see the importance of what&#8217;s going on. So that&#8217;s something I think that all Marines, soldiers and sailors would like to hear from back home, that in fact, yes, they think what we&#8217;re doing over here is important and they are in fact behind us.<\/b> <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"mailto:RCT-6lettersfromh@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil\" target=\"browser\">address is RCT-6lettersfromh@gcemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Someone will read and vet the emails, and then hand them out.<\/p>\n<p>Say something nice&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grim wants you to say something&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1453"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1453\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
