Default Kick A Good Man Down!

To: Patriot Files Members

No. 1 This is the wife's computer, and she is doing the words on the keyboard for me. I'm not computer savvy, and have no desire to learn.

No. 2 On here for a couple of reasons (Oh!. had to join (register) to send a message) My good friend H.O. Mc, part of his real name.

No. 3 Received a phone call from (H.O.Mc) a old Navy bud who I have known some 52 years. We were in the Korea war serving aboard aircraft carriers flying jet aircraft. He was a better pilot than I could be, sort of a thoroughbred in the flying category. He knew no dangers when it become to fighting for his country. Perfect example of what the Navy stands for.
He retired as a Captain after 24 years in, and I retired as Captain with 30 years. So one of us had the smarts or the breaks.

No. 4 He mentioned about this "Patrilot Files" web site, and asked me to get on and read some of the "posts" people make on just about any subject matter, and how some individuals can get so riled over some remarks one may make. He mentioned two individuals from Texas would get so upset over remarks about President G.W. Bush duties (or lack of) in the National Guard.. I told him that would be the wrong place to discuss GWB
National Guard , is with a couple of Texans.

No. 5 The person I'm referring to, is known as "Skeeter" here.. I know him as "HOM" or Harold O. Mc in the Navy. HOM is a highly decorated Naval Officer. His military record has no flaws, having earned the Navy Cross, Distingushed Service Cross, Distingushed Flying Cross, 18 Air Medals. Four with Valor, Navy/Marine Corps Medal, and a lot more to mentioned.. He is one of eleven Navy pilots to get the Navy Cross for the Korean war. President Harry Truman awarded him the NC, and President Dwight Eisenhower gave him the NC in Nov. 1953. He also appeared on the Bob Hope TV show that same month.

No. 6. It is understanding that he was barred from the Patriot Files, and he feels it all resulted from his remarks he made on a couple of posts about the duties of the President and the two Texans didn't like the remarks.

HOM (Skeeter) is not a Republician or a Democrat, but he will stand up for the person that joined or was drafted in the military service. He was always for the enlisted man,

No. 7 So if you as members here (or whoever has the authority) think about allowing on Skeeter to return.. If he made the remarks that someone didn't like, get over it, you are grown men, and former military men at that.

Enough said, and thank you for your time.


Captain. Jack Hallworth. (ret)

I am not sure what happened to his account. I can assure you he was not banned but his account had changed status to a COPPA user which requires admin approval to post. I believe during an update of the databases there most likely was an unreported error that caused his account status to change. Please let him know that I have reset his account to its previous state and apologize for the inconvenience.
