    Be well!!

    Thanks Paul.  Sorry to hear of your grandmother -- and that it took so long for me to get back to you.  I don't check this site to often.

    I sure remember you Cpl Moore -- of the wire dogs!! :)  I still think about that sign on the front of our HUMMV and chuckle -- "CO 2/1 Cpl Moore"  

    I wish you the best my friend -- Semper Fi!!

    Col. Hicks~We salute & celebrate your 16th yr. of survival

    Good morning Colonel Frank:

    Only a marine could “survive” Esophageal Cancer Stage IV for 16 years when the charts I see indicate just the opposite.  We appreciate your service and would like to know your modus operandi.  Just when and where were you diagnosed, and what treatments did you undergo?  Wish we could round up more men like you to fight ISIS.  If you can beat EC Stage IV, nothing short of an IED (Improvised Explosive Device)! could stop ‘em!

    Semper Fi

    Loretta (Wife of 14 yr. EC Stage III (T3N1M0) Survivor)
