Dear Editor
I want to thank you. The Hur Herald has been a Godsend for my family
and I the past twelve days. Like many Americans, we've followed the
story of Pfc Jessica Lynch since she was reported MIA. Thanks to
coverage in the Hur Herald, I quickly found myself becoming personally
involved in Jessica's plight. My late mother was also a shy, pretty
little country girl from Appalachia. My oldest sister Becky could have
passed for Jessica's twin sister at age 17... the resemblance is
stunning.
Until March 23, I had never heard of Pfc Jessica Lynch. She now seems
like a member of my family ... a little sister, a niece, a daughter.
Most of my friends here in Georgia feel the same way. We prayed for her
safe return, grieved when the bloody uniform was found, were all elated
at word of Jessica's miraculous rescue. Tonight we feel her pain, we
pray for her comfort ... a speedy recovery, and for her loving family
that never gave up.
I'm nothing special ... just a 41 year old Georgian that loves his
country. I'm an amateur weather forecaster and skywarn spotter, a part
time security guard ... caretaker for my 89 year grandmother, the brave
lady that took care of my little sister and me after mom died (I was 16,
sis only 12). I'm also the son of a Korean War veteran.
I got WebTV a few years ago to keep up with family out of state via
email (sis lives in Oregon); and assist in my weather watching.
I've created a small webpage ... a WebTV personal homepage in honor of
Pfc Jessica Lynch ... the brave heroes that rescued her ... and the power
of prayer. Jessica is a very brave young lady, and an American hero.
She sets a shining example for all of us.
The link to my site is below. I'd be very honored if you visit, and
provide the link to your readers. It's not much, just my humble part
of letting America know what we in Georgia think of the brave citizens
of West
Virginia; especially their favorite daughter ... Pfc Jessica Lynch.
May God Bless,
Perry L. Williams
