I have received numerous requests from the military community to do some commentary on the Feres Doctrine. At this time I am in a quiet time while I am researching and collecting materials for some magazine features. I also completed my Leatherneck feature on deadline....so, I have some time to devote to this topic.

You know my style by now. I try to put a human face on issues. So, if you have been boxed in by the Feres Doctrine and have a
story to tell.....send it to me. Remember to keep it concise. We need to address your particular issue in a paragraph or two. I also know you
attorneys out there would like to see the Feres Doctrine gone. Perhaps you can explain to me why it is bad legislation.

If by some chance there is a person out there who feels Feres is a "good thing", I'd like to hear from you and include your remarks in the mix.

I will await input.

Semper Fidelis,

Tom Segel
