but we will withhold your name on request and protect your suggestions to protect children from kidnappers i have something to share with All Par How do we distinguish the screams of a child from that of parental control or of kidnappers i have Many times seen children being carried off to the car while screaming at the top of their i Stop and i but How can i be sure that child is with their Parent or with a kidnapper How can that child let others know that he is being kid napped what have we trained our children to other than dont talk to strangers or ride with them How can a child signal help once forced into a car who will believe the tears and the lips saying help who can be confident in approaching that child to help them i have never Felt in i dont want to believe the child needs it is a hard decision to How Many of us actually take what a child says seriously out of fear for my children being i have taken the truth of child murdering and mutilation i Tell my children the cold hard facts of child How Many Are and that there Are some sick killers which society keeps alive to kill others and the numbers Are i Tell my children to love but to know that unless i Tell them they Are not to believe anyone who your mom told me to get help me find my pet or anything that will let the person take them away or touch if they Are grabbed they Are to bite with the intention of removing parts of the to take or fingers off of that because if they succeed in taking they will torture and kill i explained How Little children Are Muti tortured and How they suf this reality is not something to be afraid to teach your i Tell them to let others know that you need to not scream mama or or even to scream but even people will have to take time to decide whether help is truly by the time the decision process is it will be too what we need is a word taught along with hand signals that will be a sign for immediate action by any person who hears or sees the distress signal from a children need to feel confident that they can be taken and we need to take them the word i suggest because it is easy to scream and easily distinguishable is the hand signal effective from car or House window is a circular shape of the put All four Finger tips on the tip of the thumb making the hand twist the hand at the same it even looks like Are policies Are explained when i read the letter in the stars and stripes from the Soldier angry about the army emergency Relief program i saw the Soldier stated that the situation was an embarrassment to the in my opinion the Only embarrassment to the army was the actions of the sol Dier who made the i am tired of hearing from soldiers about what the army or its support organizations owe i have happily contributed Money to the Are program every year that i have proudly served in the i contributed that Money to help sol Diers and families who were truly in i did not contribute to support some person with the uninformed belief that someone owes him a free ride to and from his when a Soldier goes on leave he does so with the understanding that he will return to duty when his leave is it is his responsibility to provide his own transportation to and from the location he chooses to space available travel is just what it says you can Fly if enough room is available on the when an individual travels space a he must ensure he has sufficient funds to pay for a return i think somebody had already gone out of their Way to show this person that the army cares for its people by granting him two extensions to his leave so he could find a Way to return to his duty i would like to know if it is the policy of the Are program to give individuals Money for a ticket Home from their vacation when they do not properly plan for if it does then i feel my contributions have been wasted pen pals i would like my name in the pen pal in 19 years old and stationed in i like to go to movies and Eddie Shaw b Btry a Apo 09281 please

Philippines and will not give Steven Mathews Kuwait editors note Leonard har Mon Deputy National head quarters army emergency replies we Are pleased to be Able to amplify on our previous comments regarding the let Ter to which the writer our previous reply was to a Soldier who had insufficient funds to return to his unit in Usa eur from leave in the we stressed aers objective of meeting All valid emergency financial needs of sol and dependents of married and addressed the various ways a Soldier can obtain Are assistance for an Emer gency need under the circumstances cited in the original this response addresses two issues indicated by the first the As stated by the writer is the army policy concerning a soldiers responsibility to have sufficient funds for travel while on the second is aers role when soldiers encounter a valid financial Emer gency while on the army policy pertaining to a sol Diers Possession of sufficient travel funds appears in a 6305 and is printed on the Back of the request and authority for a form in connection with a Soldier requesting financial assistance from Are due to hav ing insufficient funds to return to his or her unit from the Soldier is asked to describe the circumstances that have caused the shortage of if the individuals situation is deemed to be an Emer Are provides the Soldier an inter est free when Are officers receive such a re quest it is difficult if not to in a timely the facts As related by the reasons for the Lack of Money Are Many and re quests Are evaluated with common understanding and when there is the Benefit of any doubt goes to the aers objective is to meet every valid emergency financial need of All Soldier and the dependents of married this objective appears to be being met and is evidenced by the upward trend of Are assistance from 1985 to the we Hope that this information clarifies Are policy for the writer and your read aers ability to fulfil its Mission of helping the army care for its own depends upon the interest and sup port of the writer and All army a cobras if All know that this is a distress word and then we can act immediately and not give the kidnapper an Opportunity to flee with the having a signal gives the child Hope that someone will help and most of All believe of course the Pessimist will immediately it wont work because it will be yes it May a few but As we Learned to not abuse such words As so will cobra not be the few times this signal May be abused could hardly outweigh the lives it May help my message to parents is to take Chil Dren seriously As seriously As we value their As ugly As the truth of child killers the children must be made they Are the let them believe they Are right to bite off fingers when they May still be but they left a Mark that May save the next Why protect them from the truth and not protect them from killers in our american society to protect human life by doing away with the death we have sentenced Many inno cent to ugly a child moles Ter and proven killer have been set free to prey on society More than that is a new my fears Are Only Strong when i am i have lived in Germany since my children were germans have some child but for one year the number was i dont think they the kidnappers get set free 1 just noticed the word save our kids from the master Diann Hunter Germany european edition capt Dale us editor in chief cmdr Jeffrey us
