Bernice Davis Spier: I have your e-mail of 16 Oct. I have had computer
problems & am trying to get it back to normal.
There are several people who are in the Clack-Pack who have lots of
Clack info.
You and a few of the originals of the Clack-Pack joined
the CLACK-L(a)rootsweb.com
group. My husband is the Clack descendant in my family. ------
Moses Clack ------ Rev. War soldier, father of Moses Clack, Jr. who
was also in the Rev. War. My husband has joined SAR on Moses and joined
Society of the Descendants of Washington's Army at Valley Forge on Moses
Clack. I would like to have copies of your records. Can you send a
disk? Are you researching only on a direct line or are you including
collateral lines when you research? I will gladly exchange. Moses
Clack md Susannah Thompson
Their dau. Sarah married George Berry, son of Bradley Berry. Sarah and
George went to Barren Co, KY -- along with Susannah Clack & others.
Let me hear from you. .
I consider today a very special day that we should all stop and
recognize. As you go about you daily activities, please remember that
if it were not for our vets we might not be doing the simple things that
we take for granted so very much every day. Please feel free to post
any special poems or letters or remembrances for these special people
today on these lists. In the subject put Veteran's so those that do not
wish to read them, can delete them. I know I will read and save each
and every one of mine.

A tribute to all men and women who have answered their nation's call.
The following letter is from a Marine in Vet Nam to his parents.
THEY'RE REAL CHAMPIONS
"...Just imagine, most of the guys over here are 18 and fighting to make
it to 19. The average age of the combat soldier in many units here is
18 1/2. And what a man he is. A pink cheeked, tousled haired, tight
muscled fellow who, under normal circumstances, would be considered by
society as half man, half boy, not yet dry behind the ears and a pain in
the unemployment chart.
"But here and now he is the beardless hope of free men. He is, for the
most part, unmarried and without material possessions except possibly
for an old car at home and a transistor radio here. He listens to rock
n roll and 105 millimeter howitzers.
"He just got out of high school, received so so grades, played a little
football and had a girl who promised to be true.
"He has learned to drink beer because it is cold and 'is the thing to
do'. He is a private first class, a one year military veteran with one
or possible three years to go.
"He has never cared for work, preferred waxing his own car to washing
his father's but he is now working or fighting from dawn to dark, and
often longer.
"He still has trouble spelling and writing letters home is a painful
process. But he can break down his rifle in 30 seconds and put it back
together in 29. He can describe the nomenclature of a fragmentation
grenade, explain how a machine gun operates and use either if the need
arises.
"He can dig a foxhole, apply first aid to a wounded companion, march
until he is told to stop, or stop until he is told to march. He has
seen more suffering than he should in his short life. He has stood
among hills of bodies, and he has helped to build those hills. He has
wept in private and in public and has not been ashamed at doing either,
because his pals have fallen in battle and he has come close to joining
them.
"He has become self sufficient. He has two pair of fatigues, washes one
and wears the other. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but not
his rifle. He keeps his socks dry and his canteen full.
"He can cook his own meals, fix his own hurts and mend his own rips -
material or mental. He will share his water with you if you thirst,
break his rations in half if you hunger and split his ammunition if you
are fighting for your life.
"He can do the work of two civilians, draw half the pay of one and find
ironic humor in it all. He has learned to use his hands as a weapon and
his
weapon as his hands. He can save a life or most assuredly take one.
"He is now 19, a veteran and fighting to make 20 ..."
"Hi all -
Due to the fickle fates of television programming, the Lifetime
Channel's "New Attitudes" program which was to include a segment
about Online Genealogy with Cyndi Howells, Karen Isaacson, and
Brian Leverich was not shown at its previously announced date of
October 30th. This unannounced change in programming was the
responsibility of the Lifetime Channel and clearly was
disappointing to many online genealogists who watched or taped the
show for naught.
It would appear that the segment about Online Genealogy has been
re-scheduled to this Friday, November 6th. Please remember that
there is no guarrantee from the Lifetime Channel that they will, in
fact, follow their announced scheduling. See
http://www.lifetimetv.com/onair/shows/na/friday.html
for a program description.
Please consult your local TV guide for information about what
channel number Lifetime appears on in your area and also for air
times for the "New Attitudes" program on November 6th. We
certainly hope that the segment will air this Friday."
