I am a Hospital Corpsman with a Marine Rifle co. in Iraq. I work very
closely with the indiginous population. I have noticed many amputees,
particularly long bks, who are in need of proper prosthetic care. However,
the Army command here will not supply it. My appeal to you is for pelite,
barge type cement, and socks and shrinkers. You may contact me at the above
e-mail or at the mailing address below.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
HM2 Robert W Merz
