Daniel Peterson, is a sniper with H&S Co. and I suspect he was "working" on the roof during your broadcast from the UN building early this a.m. California time. We are so proud of him and all the guys (including you!). We'll keep watching! THANKS!!

As an old Marine whose standard issue weapon was a slingshot and bag of rocks...I want to take time to thank you for your reporting and courage under fire. It is especially appreciated when you share your air time with Marines around you. It is obvious that they are doing the job they were trained to do. We back here respect the sacrifices they/you are making and it will never be forgotten. Watch your "six" and our prayers are with you...the Marines and all the other troops taking care of business. If there is a vote to make you an Honorary Marine...you have my vote. Posted by: L. Wirth at April 10, 2003 06:40 PMRick, Dear Rick,
Rick, We all know that our brother-in-law, Scott 'doc' Hellesto is going to take the credit for Echo Company in finding that mobile bio-lab. :) Being a corpsman and all, I am sure he is taking good care of the men he is with there in Iraq. My wife and I wish him and the rest of the Marines who are there god speed and a safe return. He has got to come back, there are three wonderful kids waiting for his return as long with his wife, my sister, and the rest of the family. You all got our support and prayers Hi Rick; see you all the time. Our nephew Scott Hellesto is with you, please tell him that we love him and keep him close to our heart that he stays safe. Please also etend our gratitude and are so very proud of all our troops. Our pride for all you is so overwhelming. Thank you Rick, I can not thank you enough for being with the 2nd BN 23rd Marines. It's like a weight lifted off my shoulders once I found out you are with those Marines. My husband is SSgt. Conwell - Echo Company (weapons platoon). If you come across this wonderful Marine please tell him that his wife and 2 year old daughter, Piper, are very proud of him, miss and love him very much and that we are waiting for his return. Thank you again so much. Rick, Lauren Pena Posted by: Lauren Pena at April 11, 2003 06:57 PMDear Rick! Thank you for your daily reports!

Please keep this just between you and me -- Stay close to Isaiah because he's going to be receiving SO much food and stuff when mail comes, and I mean GOOD stuff! Wishing you success, safety, and a quick tour, Rick, Hi Rick, Rick: Hi Rick - I got so excited when I saw that you were with the 2/23. Until then we really didn't know where our son was, but you showed us. Thanks for the great job you are doing - you are really brave to be out there. If you see our son, Cpl John Flagg (with Echo Co.) please tell him that we love him and are praying for him and all our troops over there (and the reporters too). Stay safe and come home soon.

Dear Rick: As the mother-in-law of Capt.Bron Roeder and the husband of a retired Marine I just wanted to express our gratitude for the role you have taken upon yourself in Iraq. Our prayers and good wishes are with you! Thanks again! Priscilla Leighton Posted by: Priscilla Leighton at April 11, 2003 09:40 PMHi Rick, Rick Thank you for your coverage.The longer you stay with the troops the bigger your heart becomes and your compassion and understanding comes through in your coverage. As the mother of one of the boys you are covering in the echo company. I want you to know Your coverage has given the USA a clearer understanding of the strength, love and compasssion our Marines have for Us and others. It takes a unselfish faith in others to fight for their freedom and dignity. Rick...I cannot put into words how thankful I am to watch you with 2/23 MAR (Echo Company). Knowing a little bit about what our Marines are doing, especially the good looking one :), Lcpl Cook, (Brandt), helps the gratitude grow deeper, the love get stronger, and the knowledge overflow. If you have another chance, pls let Lcpl Cook know that I love him and that everyone back hm is so in awe with his courage. I know the words are simple but you cannot place a value on gratitude, especially for the men who risk their life to protect our very own freedom (that includes all the reporters too). May Gods grace continue to multiply toward you! RICK Hello Mr. Leventhal! Thank you for reporting from 2/23! You bring the possibility of a glimpse of the coolest guy in the world, my boyfriend: LCPL DANIEL BURKE from 2/23 ECHO CO. 3rd platoon. Please tell him he is dearly loved and missed!! We're all crossing our fingers that this war sees a speedy ending and that our troops return safely. THANK YOU MR. LEVENTHAL AND THANK YOU TO OUR TROOPS!!!! TAKE CARE!!! :) Posted by: SARAH BONNER at April 11, 2003 11:37 PMHi Rick My son is with the echo company. We watch Fox news all the time waiting for word from our son.

If you get a chance could we please see him on TV. Also tell him that his 3 children and his wife miss him, love him and are very proud of him. We are awaiting your return home. Please stay safe. Semper Fi, Dear Rick, Thank you very much for all the hard and fine work you are doing. If it wasn't for you and other reporters, like you, we wouldn't be able to see what is really going on in Iraq. Thank you for your reports, for they kept us sane at times when our minds imagined the worst. My brother, LCpl Dmitry Polozov, is also serving with 2/23, Echo Company, 3rd Platoon. And we wanted to let him know how PROUD his family is of what he and his fellow Marines are doing. We LOVE him very much and are waiting, so very patiently, for him to come home safely. Please let our troops know that the support for all their efforts and hard work is growing. I hear of the new Support Rallies, at least here, in California, every week. Churches are praying for their safety; Corporations have "Support Our Troops: Red,White & Blue (clothing)" Fridays; People are proudly posting US Flags and yellow ribbons everywhere I look. Once again, thank you Rick, for doing such a great job and for keeping us informed about the reality! May God Bless You and bring you, along with ALL of our Troops, home safely! With all the Love and Respect, Hey Rick, getting any sleep now? hOW'S THE FOOD? tell Lance Corpl. Jonathan Pierce Barton that this says it all,"he isn't a Marine just because of his commitment and perserverance, his tenacity and his courage,though it is required. He's my hero, my brother, and my best friend." per his little sister Kayleen's essay for school, Allmy love PEACE, Mom (C.Y.A.) Posted by: Kitch at April 12, 2003 02:24 PMYou'll note a comment above from Nicole King, the girlfriend of Lcpl Brandt Cook, E/2-23. Since the two are very much in love, perhaps we could arrange a videophone proposal from Lcpl Cook some evening. I'm the pastor of both and will marry them sometime in the future. I'm also an Army officer wishing the Marines the best in the tough and dangerous job they are doing. Posted by: Major Bill Puryear at April 12, 2003 02:26 PMRick Hi, Rick. Hi, Rick.

Tell him I love him so much and that I am proud to be his brother. For the record, I love New York too. I am too young too offer you a beer, so when you get home, the Pepsi's on me. But I am pretty sure beer's on my dad. Please call him to the cameras. Our family really wants to see him. Be careful out there. Tell my brother I said "Hoo-rah", and that I miss him lots. Hi Rick.

Posted by: Ken and Kyndra Lindelli at April 12, 2003 06:02 PMHello Rick; This is Ken Brandt Sr. proud dad of LCPL Brandt, Ken, USMC, and wanted to thank you for the excellent work you've doing interviewing our finest. I have seen (and taped) almost every interview aired from Marines belonging to the 2/23, but unfortunately I have not been able to see my son in any of these interviews. He is part of E Co. (Echo Company) and based on your last reports, they are at the United Nations Headquarters. I don't know how far the UN HQ is from where you are located, but if it isn't too much trouble, would you be so kind and try to do a quick one-on-one with him? This would make myself anf my family so happy that we'd be willing to invite you and Shep for steaks. I heard you and Shep talking about Shawn (Hannity) buying steaks for everybody, but that's OK; I'll pay for yours and Shep's. Hey, what the heck, I'll even pay for Hannity's, but Colmes will have to pay for his if he wants to come. If you do see my son, please tell him that I love him and miss him a whole lot. I and hundreds of people are praying to the Good Lord for his safe return and feel very proud for the outstanding work he and his buddies are doing, including you. I look forward to having the opportunity of seeing you and my son during the next round of interviews from Baghdad. Thank you very much and may God bless you and your family, Ken Posted by: Ken Brandt Sr. at April 12, 2003 06:40 PMRick, thanks for your timely reports, I glue myself to the news to get your and Ollie's reports. Our son, Sgt. Valden Smith, of ECHO Co. called us at 6 AM today, Sat. 12th. He said he had reservations about gettting into this war, but none now. People keep coming up to him saying, "thank you, thank you!", what can I get for you? Finally he asked for some bread and in a few minutes had fresh bread from a grateful Iraqi. Our yellow ribbons are hanging everywhere for him and the troops. The anti-war activists are making fool of themselves with their violence. America supports the troops! Tell him hellow if you get a chance. Dear Rick, You are doing a great job! If you run across LCPL.Navarro Hector please tell him that me and his daughters love him very much and we are very proud of him. Everyone says hi and sends their thoughts and prayers. Please let Cpl. Justin Beth know that his wife is thinking of him and missing him so much. Tell him to stop messing around, and come home soon so we can go on our honeymoon! :) Love, Chris Posted by: Chris Beth at April 12, 2003 08:19 PMDear Mr.Leventhal: The job you perform is as perilous as the unit you are traving with, Fox 2nd BN 23rd Marines.

All of you are constantly in my prayers. If you get a chance to be in contact with Javeit, please tell him I love him endlessly and am looking forward to his homecoming.

Should you run into him, please reiterate that I love him like crazy and miss him. I'm nowhere without his cooking so he'd better get back here. Through him I have met many of the other amazing Marines he is fighting with. My heart goes out to Benoit, Hinton, "Chevy", "Munch", Chen, and to everyone else who has antagonized me back at Camp Pendleton. Be strong guys! Keep up the excellent work Rick!

Vanessa Posted by: Vanessa Nguyen at April 14, 2003 12:05 PMJust wanted to say how proud everyone here in the states are of you and the troops. One thing I can't understand. Why has no one told the world viewers that a large percentage of the Civilians injuried in the war are really solders that have taken off their uniforms and gone to the hospitals for help after they tried to kill our Solders?? Posted by: Gary Davis at April 14, 2003 12:25 PMRick, I want to thank you for the great job that you are doing, being with our troops. Please tell every one of them that they are missed.

Posted by: MAROY LAMIGO at April 14, 2003 08:16 PMWe have enjoyed your converage of the 2/23 Marines so much. These Reservists deserve a lot of credit and you have certainly given them much appreciated exposure. You spoke with my son Cpl Benjamin Lancaster, Echo Co, on camera and just seeing him and hearing his voice made me feel better than I have since March 19th. I'd love to see him again. You are the best!! Posted by: Ginny McGaha at April 14, 2003 08:24 PMDear Mr. Leventhal, Dear Rick: Hi Rick! Rick: You are doing such an awsome job! Any chance you can help with this problem? Please see the letter below: To: United States President George Bush April 10, 2003 Re: United States Marines Receiving Mail The current situation in which our fighting men and women lay their lives on the line and are not provided with critically needed support from home is unacceptable and intolerable. Recently I received a mail from the father of a United States Marine (Art Carranza Sr.) detailing his concern and frustrations regarding the Marine’s inability to perform the simple task of delivering the United States mail to our soldiers in Iraq. We all know the hell our men and women are being subjected to in the war zone of Iraq. Our men and women, our friends, our CHILDREN are sacrificing and risking their lives on a daily basis so that WE have the freedom to sit in front of our computers and write letters like this. Brave as they are, they NEED our love and support. Articles in the newspapers and interviews from the war zones are distressing. Our troops are being demoralized by their perception that a large number of Americans are protesting our presence in Iraq. Many have expressed concerns that they will be subjected to the selfish and damaging treatment that our Viet Nam vets received upon their return to the US after THEIR sacrifice. We see the concern in their eyes and hear the pain in their voices when, on national television, they ask why they have not heard from their family’s back home. Death, destruction, pestilence, hunger, is enough for our men and women to worry about without having to worry about their families, their CHILDREN’s safety and security back home. They need to focus on their job, their objectives, staying alive, and NOT have to worry about THEIR children and families back home! Corporal Artemio Carranza is one of the bravest, most courageous Marines we have fighting for us over in Iraq. I know him better than many of his family members because he spent almost everyday for four years in my classroom. I watched him grow from a gangling freshman in high school to a young man who, as a senior, performed and exemplary job of leading and directing an entire Police and Fire Academy training camp of over 80 students AND adults 300 miles from home. He moved into adulthood as one of the finest young men I have ever known. Now, as a single father risking his life for his country and for the oppressed and often slaughtered Iraqis, he hasn’t received any contact from his daughter or his father and family since the day he left the United States. I implore you to immediately make the support of our United Sates Marines and their contact with their family through the mail your top priority. Our Marines MUST know that their families are safe and that they are completely supported now and they will be when they return. Please forward this letter to whoever needs to receive this in order to expedite the support our troops who are in critical need of our support and the security in knowing their children and families are safe. CPL Carranza, A.J. USMC Sincerely, Jim R. Walker Posted by: Jim R. (Mad Dog)Walker at April 15, 2003 12:11 AMRick, we watch you all the time, You talked to my son CPL Artemio Carranza on the 8th and that was a blessing to all his family. Thank you and god bless you for your courage in being their. If you see him, tell him we hope to see him soon, keep alert and cover his back. If he can get on a computer, his logon is good to go. Even Bush has heared from us Posted by: Art Carranza at April 15, 2003 12:11 AMHi Rick, Rick: Send my best to the guys and let them know that we are supporting them and praying for them. Be careful and come home soon. Semper Fi! Andrea Gold Dear Rick, Thank you so much for reporting correct information of our men in the 2/23. My boyfriend Alberto Kralj is over there with you in Echo co. He's a Cpl. and is really quite if he doesn't know you so I think that's why you haven't interviewed him on t.v. If you could please track him down and interview him on t.v so that I may see him and see that he is fine would be really great. Also if you could tell him that I love him and that our familes are praying for him right along all the other "smart americans". Please also let him know I miss him very much and can't wait for him to come home. Thank you and hope all is well, Dear Rick, I would like to thank you for what you are doing.This is really wonderful and you are doing an excellent job! Rommel, We would like you to know that we are very proud of you and we are praying for you and your troops for your safe return.You are our hero! And I know where ever your Lolo Martin right now he is one big happy grandpa. I know that both you and my Dad served our country with pride and Joy!. We love you and take care yourself. Rick, Mr Rick Dear Mr. Leventhal, CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE MY UNCLE SCOTT HELLESTO HM2 IN 2/23 MARINES THIS MESSAGE.......XOXOXOXOXOXOXO!!!!!! God Bless You Rick I can't tell you how Dear, Mr. Levanthal The job you are doing is perlious. Thank you so much for the coverage on what is happening in Iraq.

Posted by: Joann Zepeda & Family at April 15, 2003 06:43 PMHello there Rick, again, RICK, Rick, Dear Rick, MR.LEVENTHAL, Hello Rick: You are awesome! Thank you for joining our men of 2/23 on the battlefield. Last Tuesday 4/8/03 you interviewed my husband Cpl Rick Hudson of Echo Company while you were walking through the streets of Baghdad. Though the connection was bad, I was so very blessed to hear his voice for a few brief moments. Tell the boys that we are so very proud of them. They are making history, and they truly are America's Heroes. We will forever treasure the footage you have provided in this war and one day share it with our children and our grandchildren. Thank you for your sacrifices. God Bless You and your family! Cory Hudson, A Proud Wife Rick- I know you're inundated with requests, but if you run across Scott Hellesto of the 2/23 Marines tell him that he is in our hearts and prayers. We're VERY proud of him and we can't wait for his (and everyone else's) safe return. Love, Dear Rick Levinthal, I have written to you before for a message from my son Nathan Coker. I am writing as I was reading one of the letters sent to you. I will start writing to Sgt. Frasier. He may be getting mail, but as a single parent with a daughter far away it's got to be very hard for him. I will ship a box to him in the next few days. I'm not even certain my son has received any mail yet and it's been almost a month. I just shipped 7 boxes from a party had for Nate's unit. You see, in the Marines, as well as other military units, we are one big family. Please tell Sgt. Frasier, 2/23 3rd PLT that we care for him and his huge sacrifices that he has made for his country. When he comes home there will be lots of people to wish him well. I hope that the unit comes home together, as they did not all travel together (some by ship, some air). Tell him that he is in my families prayers. Bless your work with our men and women. Jan Coker Hi Rick: We can't thank you enough for the excellent coverage on 2/23rd Marines. We watch you religously just hoping to get a glance at LCPL Leopoldo Ortiz. Would you please tell him to stop being so camera shy!! We're just itching to see him!Last week he sustained some injuries in Baghdad. He is currently in Kuwait City recovering and anxiously awaiting to rejoin his platoon. Yeah, that's Leo for ya. If you happen to see him, please let him know that we're very proud of him, that we love him, and that we're awaiting his safe return home. Lot's of Love, Hey Rick! Rick Leventhal: I saw and heard you tonight, "very exhausted" and you still laughed and smiled. GOOD JOB FOX SOLDIER! I can't wait until my girlfriends son, Artemio Carranza, returns and tells us all of your experiences from 'Ground Bagdad'. I do believe you made history. I think you are one cool guy and it seems everyone, including Mr. Sheperd, like and miss you. God will bless people like you and your family and our courages decent troops, YOU ALL REPRESENT THE 'REAL' AMERICAN' Posted by: esther t wiskel at April 17, 2003 03:54 AM
Message for Sgt. Edward (Eddie) Macias, E Co. 2nd Bn 23 Marines, Weapons Platoon. Hi Eddie, we are all praying for you and awaiting your safe return. Love Ya!!! Claudia, Alex, Mom, Dad, & Thumper in Houston,Texas. Posted by: Claudia Macias at April 17, 2003 08:25 PMHI,RICK THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE EXCELLENT COVERAGE. RICK IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE MY SON LANCE CORPORAL CARRASCO HE IS WITH 2/23 TELL HIM WE LOVE & MISS HIM, TO COME HOME SAFE. TELL HIM WE CELEBRATED HIS SON'S ADRIAN 2ND BIRTHDAY SUNDAY APRIL 13, BUT HE WAS MISSED BY ALL HIS BIG FAMILIA. WE ARE PRAYING FOR HIM & HIS FRIENDS. Rick, Hi Rick, Rick, Thank you so very much for making it possible for those of us back home to see and know some of the details of combat. It makes watching God answer specific prayers for the provision and safety and military success of you all, our men, very exciting. If you meet Lcpl Brandt Cook E/2-23, tell him I love him and miss him. I have known Brandt since he was a little boy, and I am also the aunt of his girlfriend, Nicole King. It would be the perfect proposal to a perfect love story if, as suggessted by Maj. Bill Puryear, he was able to "pop the question" in one of your interviews. These two young people are very special to me. Let the marines know how appreciated they are! Posted by: Debbie King at April 19, 2003 01:01 AMPlease let Sgt. Paulsen of Weapons Co. 81's know we are expecting a healthy baby boy! Thanks for the opportunity to pass on this happy news. Posted by: Abigail Paulsen at April 19, 2003 03:07 AMRick, are you still hanging in there with 2/23? I haven't seen you for a few days on FOX News. If you see my son LCPL Adam Fraser (he's with Echo Co. 2/23) tell him we love him and his wife, who's expecting in a few weeks, is doing just fine. Thanks for all your hard work Rick and for keeping us informed. Posted by: Judith Fraser at April 21, 2003 01:05 PMRick, Even before you joined the 2/23 I thought you were doing an outstanding job on bring the details of war to us back in the U.S. With your annexation to the 2/23, my opinion of your job has become biased, but I still think you are by far one of the best war correspndents out there. My brother is LCPL Alvaro Valencia. If you know him or see him, could you tell him his brother Carlos says "HI!"? Thanks. Posted by: Carlos Garcia at April 21, 2003 06:22 PMHi Rick, Could someone please help me find Cpl. Corey E. Post a comment
