My husband Mike was watching Fox News and came running to get me the night you were reporting during a sandstorm, and you mentioned that Calucci was there sleeping next to the vehicle and you didn't know how he could do that. That was the first glimpse of my son and he was alive and well. You have no idea how that made his family feel as we had no contact with him since he left the United States. Every TV in our house was then turned on to the Fox News as we waited to hear or see any signs of Craig. Not long after that you interviewed him late at night, and it was great to hear his voice again. You will never know how much that meant to me as a mother of a Marine in combat. I would also like to thank ALL the Marines, and Service MEN and WOMEN for all they have done and all they are doing for this great country we live in! Keep up the great job everyone! PS. Any way I can get a copy of the tapes of Craig in Iraq?? Would love to show these to his daughters when they get old enough!

I still remember Shep saying to you, I think you were in one of the palaces at the time, "You look tired, my friend." And you responded with a "Well - yeah, I am." I wanted to give you a hug. It is such a tribute to look up a few of these brave men and get reacquainted again. Thank you for this! Tell them, "Thank you! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You will never be forgotten."

Having been a former Marine and seving in Beirut back in 1982-83, it's nice to see Marines getting recognition for the good they do, versus the bad rap they often receive. "Semper Fi, Do or Die Marines." Thanks for following up on these Marines.
