I served on active duty with the 19th EN BN (194th AR BDE), 10th EN BN (3rd ID) and the 307th EN BN (ABN) (82nd ABN DIV). Walt's daughter registered an account on our website: www.Airborne-Sapper.com and I thought I would come over and check things out. She has done a great job! Great web site!

OKAY PEOPLE... Good advice time!

PLEASE DO NOT, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, SEND OR FORWARD AN EMAIL BEFORE YOU VERIFY WHETHER IT IS TRUE. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!!

I HAVE PLACED THIS ADVICE ON ALL MY SITES, AND HAVE EVEN INCLUDED THIS ADVICE IN TWO OF MY NEWSLETTERS, BUT DANGED...

SENDING AN EMAIL ON BEFORE VERIFYING IS THE SAME THING AS GOSSIPING. REST ASSURED OF THIS. IT CREATES HAVOC ON THE INTERNET, FLOODS EMAIL INBOXES, AND TAKES UP VALUABLE TIME.

HERE ARE THE SITES YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT BEFORE FOREWARDING ANY EMAIL. DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE 3/4'S OF IT FLOATING AROUND THE INTERNET IS FABRICATED OR DOCTORED.

BE AN ACTIVE INDIVIDUAL AND HELP BY MAKING SURE ONLY THE TRUTH GETS SPREAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

Here are sources you can check for hoaxes and threats:
