I can't believe the story I read about the
rangers that are being charged with
mistreating (assult charges) on prisoners that
are known for terrorist activities against the
US. So far the discription has been that they
were hit and punched and now have bruises.
Come on now people what kind of support are we
showing our soldiers who we have trained to
fight and kill for the US. These charges and
this rediculous behavior by our leaders should
cause the American people to be outraged and
to get involved. This will ruin these 5
Rangers lives if prosicuted. I thought I would
just get some opinions of other Rangers and
how they feel about this.

We are sort of like the "Marines" and we are
looking for a few (Many) good men. We need
State Advocates for each state. You would
assist families of injured, wounded and
deceased Rangers, LRPs and LRRPs. There are
many states that are large enough to need
several volunteers for this duty. We need to
assist these folks to let them know that we
care. You would represent the 75th RRA and
show the families that we are all brothers in
arms. Please respond to the email address
above if you are interested in giving a
helping hand. I will provide you with the
guidelines for this critical volunteer
position. We are looking for men that care and
can assist. Are you one of those few
responsible, careing and good men? Thank you,

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN
DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION | Harry
Miller | | v. | | Chicago Public Library, |
Chicago Police Department, | Illinois Attorney
General, | Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and | George W. Bush | | AMENDMENT OF
COMPLAINT PRESENTED TO COURT 16 DECEMBER OF
THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2005 FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS AGAINST 42 U.S.C. 1983 AND OTHER
LAW Plaintiff (Harry Miller, resident of 150
W. Maple 513, Chicago IL 60610, telephone
number 312-787-0565, State of Illinois photo
ID CARD 4603-7540-098M) is an American combat
veteran. Scientific finding that each and
every sane soldier who lawfully kills an enemy
within sight will have battle fatigue for rest
of life is maintained as SECRET (and higher)
US/UK EYES ONLY by the Defendant, George W.
Bush. Battle fatigue has been renamed P.T.S.D.
(Post Traumatic Stress Disorders) and
effective treatments for disabling symptoms
deliberately withheld from American combat
veterans since end of WWII (Second World War).
More than half the paupers’ graves in
the United States of America since WWII have
been filled with their bodies, usually in
deliberate violation of law requiring they be
honorably buried. Bush continues the
betrayals. Plaintiff perused the SECRET
findings on battle fatigue in the classified
documents vault of Engineer Intelligence
Center U.S. Army Europe at Tompkins Barracks,
Germany, during 1959 and 1960. When ordered to
take men into combat for Army of U.S. he
erroneously assumed their battle fatigue would
be properly treated. He began to learn only
few years ago that combat veterans of the
United States of America are routinely
betrayed by their Commanders In Chief. Since
January 2005 Defendant has required
“benefits” for P.T.S.D. known by
VA (Veterans Administration of the United
States of America) to be past due not be given
the Plaintiff until Miller v Principi is
closed by United States Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit. Plaintiff is expected to
die before then. Defendant has also taken
Plaintiff’s homeland into preemptive war
against the peoples and nation of Iraq after
deliberately fomenting the murders of 9-11-01
in New York, Pennsylvania and the District of
Columbia by verifying federal assassinations
and mass murder of Muslims by the United
States of America such as disclosed by Bob
Woodward in the history book Veil. About
mid-day Saturday 18 December 2004 in public
section of third floor of Chicago Public
Library at 400 South State Street, Chicago,
Illinois (IL), four uniformed guards of the
Defendant (Chicago Public Library) assaulted
and robbed the Plaintiff of research notes
while disjointing bones of hands and expertly
inflicting in full public view of
Defendant’s other employees and patrons
during less than three minutes compartment
syndrome to muscle of lower right leg of
Plaintiff by means of severe systematic
beating avoiding bones. The torture-murder
system is new to police of the United States,
but Plaintiff was told of it by Iranian Army
Officers in 1958, and it is being learned by
American military police in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The uniformed guards drug
Plaintiff to secluded locker room of the
Defendant’s library where accessories
uniformed as Chicago Police Officers
handcuffed the Plaintiff, took that stolen
personal property, then continued the physical
assault. The guards went back to public
reading room and retrieved Plaintiff’s
notebooks which were also given to Defendant
(Chicago Police Department). The
Defendants’ uniformed minions prevented
medical attention which would have prevented
the eventually fatal blood clot expected to
result from the injury to leg and realignment
of Plaintiff’s finger joints, one of
which is permanently crooked for lack of
timely treatment. One of the Defendant’s
uniformed guards had claimed Plaintiff was
being arrested. But the assaulting thieves
uniformed as Police Officers were intrigued by
the stolen personal property and spent entire
afternoon arguing among themselves. Plaintiff
was not arrested in any purportedly lawful
manner that day Some of the stolen research
had been recorded by Defendant’s public
library computer system referencing the
Plaintiff; Plaintiff’s library card
number is D036752708. When ordered by putative
Central Intelligence Agency agents to murder
citizens of the United States of America
during 1969, Plaintiff reported some of the
research to Defendant through FBI’s
(Defentant’s: Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s) Special Agent John W.
Robinson. Federal and local crimes
subsequently discovered during the research
were reported by Plaintiff face to face to the
Defendant’s (Illinois Attorney General)
Governor Rod Blagojevich when he was a U.S.
Congressman. Librarians of Defendant, Chicago
Public Library, had been ordering its
uniformed guards to interfere in the research
since about 1999. Ambulance of Chicago Fire
Department was called about 3:00 p.m. but was
not allowed to take Plaintiff to hospital
until after Defendant closed library 5:00 p.m.
18 December 2004. Chicago Fire Department
subsequently falsely reported Plaintiff was
delivered to Northwestern Memorial Hospital by
4:00 p.m. but Hospital journalized arrival as
soon as Ambulance arrived with Plaintiff after
5:00 p.m. Chicago Police Department, Illinois
police and Attorney General and Federal Bureau
of Investigation refused to take any report of
matter until after U.S. Postal Service
certified mail of 27 June 2005 7003 1680 0001
6919 4483 to City of Chicago Inspector
General’s Office 111 W Washington

6919 4674 to Office of Illinois Attorney
General 100 W Randolph Chicago IL 60601 from
the Plaintiff. Plaintiff was treated at
WestSide VA Medical Center. Emergency surgery
on leg was performed Sunday 19 December 2004
to prevent eminent death due to gangrene
developing in leg. A second surgery was also
required. But the circulation fault inherent
in compartment syndrome deliberately inflicted
on Plaintiff’s leg continues to cause
pain and will eventually cause possibly fatal
blood clots to break loose in circulatory
system. Small finger of left hand is
permanently crooked. Heart has apparently been
damaged by a clot. WHEREFORE Plaintiff
petitions for court to order Defendants to pay
Plaintiff Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000.00
US) civil rights damages and recommend
attention to the crimes involved. Damages for
other torts are being requested IN THE CIRCUIT

to THANK-YOU, all for the support and
camaraderie over the years. I have enjoyed the

and was a participant in over the past years.
I have over the past six months or so have
been investing into a financial opportunity
that seemed to be sound and lucrative, to me.
Well, I dieing of a fatal sucking chest wound
as we speak. Details are not important, the
bottom line is. All the court date are over.
I’m going to hit the streets again and
return to the job market. At fifty-six years
young. I am going to stat a new. I have lost
everything ~ and I do mean everything ~ Harley
Bike ~ Harley Truck ~ My Home. Life is an

any rate, I don’t know where I’m
going, or where I’ll end up ~ BUT when I
get there I’ll know…you know,
have a plan, have at least an OPS
ORDER…? LOL It has been a pleasure as
the past President, of Echo/Charlie Company. I
have enjoyed the position as your Unit
Representative and the honor of being the Unit
Chaplin. I know this will leave some hole in
the fabric of the Company, but I do know that
someone will step into the missing space I
have left. When I get everything back together
I’ll reappear, once again and
participate in the Greatest Brotherhood that I
have the privilege to be a part of. SIGNED:

Just found this website and it brought back
some memories. The scan of the 1st Platoon
A/75 indicates that the original must be in as
bad of shape as my original copy. I am in the
back row centered 5th from the left or right.
This picture was originally taken Jun/Jul
1973. It should also be noted that A/75 was a
severely under staffed unit during the
1972/1973 time period. This was also during
the 1st Cav's Tri-Cap days. Almost a whole
platoon was transferred to the 2 bn 1st cav to
form a company used to test various concepts
defined by MASTR, to include airmobile lrrp
used in combination with ground rec using
motorcycles and customized dune buggies.

death (the incident) in which Sgt. Grimes was
killed on 25 Sept. 1970? I need input as soon
as I can get it (publishing deadline). Please
contact me if you have any knowledge of this
fine trooper or the incident. Jerry in Montana

My husband Robert Michael "Mike" Gertsch
served with the L company of the 75th Rangers
from Dec. 1969 to May 1970 when he was
transferred to Company B 5th Special Forces.
Until recently he was content to leave all
memories of that time buried. This Veteran's
Day we attended the Dedication of the new
Veteran's Cemetary in Northern California.
That evening we sat down at the computer and
started searching and found this site. We also
found his picture listed either as Al Bartz or
UNK in some of the pictures on this site.
Thank you. s gertsch

I would just like to thank everyone for there
service in this messed up war, and may you all
come home safe. I can understand how hard it
is not to be able to share your everyday life
with loved ones, due to national security. It
doesn't get any easier with time either

Has any one viewed the anysoldier.com website?
Why coulnt we have a anyranger .com and get
some care packages to those Rangers who are
deployed. The troops on the anysoldier.com
site appear to be mostly rear support soldiers
who are near computers and can sign up to get
care packages. IM sure our Ranger brothers are
to far out in the bush to be a near a
computer. Must be a way for folks to send
packages to individual 75th Rangers. They
continue to lead the way and would probably
appreciate some things from home.

Has anyone reviewed the anysoldier.com
website. Why couldnt we have a anyranger.com
site to get names of Rangers who we can send
care packages to or a central mailing to send
Rangers who are deployed care packages. Most
of the soldiers who are listed on the
anysoldier .com site are rear support soldiers
who are near headquarters/computers. Im sure
our fellow Rangers are way out in the bush,
but they have to be receiving there mail
somewhere. Just a thought, I for one would
like be able to mail them some things they
would enjoy.

I am the 2nd kind of ranger. three times a
volunteer after 9/11, my father was a lrrp in
the 3rd id stationed in germany and a member
of the ranger assoc. and is listed in the
memoriam of the usara. two friends of mine,
andrew chris and sgt tim conneway are also
listed there. i served in 375 B.co 2nd
platoon, weapons squad, and i am very proud to
say that i did so. my platoon sgt was sgt
nichols and my squad leader was sgt navarro.
it was the greatest honor of my life to be
deployed with the finest men i have ever
known. I was in afghanistan from june 02 til
sept of that same year. my father was a member
of the usara and it was his association with
the usara that eventually led me to joining
the army rangers. yours is a great association
and i really appreciate the effort applied in
preserving the memory of those who have
sacrificed their youth and sometimes,
unfortunately, their lives.

TO ALL MEMBERS, Anyone wishing to send a card
to Roy Boatman and his family the address is
listed below. Roy should be home by now and
his son Darrell who was a Veteran Marine GySgt
with the MEF EOD in Iraq was KIA on or about
5, Nov when he was struck in the head with one
piece of shrapnel from a command detonated
mine. Services will be held in Jacksonville,
NC, no dates are set as of this time. No
matter what you know or heard about Roy, Ive
known him for over 20 years and he is without
a doubt, not only a great Warrior in his day,
he was a dedicated man to this organization.
And IMO, one of the most knowlegable men when
it came to the Traditons, History and Lineage
of all the units in this association. God
bless him and his family. 1456 Lula Long Rd

THIS MESSAGE IS TO ALL MEMBERS: I thought that
someone would of posted this already, however,
maybe no one has been told. Roy Boatman's
(173/LRRP/74/LRP/DET/N/75/RGR/) son who was a
Veteran GySgt in The USMC was KIA in Iraq,on
or about 4/5 NOV, by a command detonated mind
which a piece of shrapnel struck him in the
head. Roy & his wife Joyce flew to their
son's side on 4 Nov. Eventually he was taken
off life support and passed away. They are
enroute back to NC, to make plans for the
funeral. They need all of their friends
support at this time, His son Darrell, has a
son 17 and a daughter, 14 that are taken it
very hard. Please take a moment from your busy
lives and say a prayer for a hell of a man and
Ranger's family. I believe the POC is Roy
Barley. God Bless them all. "SALSA" 1SG Joey
