As I become familiar with my duties I will be calling on some of you to fill the positions that are still empty in your state. I will be asking you to set up a roster of the other men in the state if possible to assist you, of course they will have to want to assist. Who would not want to assist in such an important duty and responsibility? . It already has been said that it is an important duty and I feel it takes more than one person to fulfill it.

We must consider that even if we were not in this persons unit, we still respect him because we know what he has done for his country and for each of us. We still owe him the honor of being there for him as he was there for us. We depended on each other in combat during dangerous missions and the least we can expect is that we are there for each other when we depart this world.

So please be accepting when I do contact you. Please accept the honor of being the 75th Rangers representative for your state and know that when you finally have departed for your last patrol that a brother will be there to see that all goes well for you and your family.

Thank You,

Gene Tucker
