Posted January 10, 200718 yr As many of you know, Accord has left us to fulfill his life long dream of being in the United States Marine Corps and is currently in boot camp, where the only contact with the outside world will be mail call via snail mail. As a surprise and to ensure that Accord is a valued part of our community, me and Admin have calibrated and decided to send Accord some letters on behalf of marlinsbaseball.com. The purpose of this letter is that while he is at boot camp, to inform him of the latest happenings here at the marlinsbaseball.com forums, news and just to say hi. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the letter, and we will send him a letter monthly for him to read during boot camp and also during infirmary training. Please post your messages and news to Accord below. The cut off dates for each month's letters are listed below (all at noon et deadline days): January letter: 1/29 February letter: 2/26 March letter: 3/26 If Accord sends us back anything, the letter will be posted in this thread.

January 10, 200718 yr He'll have time to write like 2 letters. But i remember in boot camp letters where the only thing that kept me sane. So I encourage everyone to write him.
January 29, 200718 yr Author i'm so sorry for forgetting about all of this...but i haven't completely forgotten though. i'm bumping this up to the front of the page though. since this happened, i'm going to extend the deadline to feb. 5th. just post things you like accord to know, updates on the site and good luck sentiments.
January 29, 200718 yr Dear Accord, The Bullpen is a mess without you. You can't return soon enough. But really, hope the military is everything you thought it would be.
January 30, 200718 yr Accord, I hope you're holding up well on your journey to becoming a US Marine! I miss having you around and I am curious to hear how things have been going. We are just gearing up for Spring Training and still waiting to hear if we're going to make a good signing at center field. I'm planning on going to the Marlins Opening Day in Washington which should be a real treat for me. If you are able, please update us on how you are doing and what kind of experiences you have had. Regards, Dodge (Kenneth)
January 30, 200718 yr "Accord", I hope that you are doing well. I wish you the very best! Take care, Miri
January 30, 200718 yr Accord, Hope you're hangin' in there, man. Keep following your dream and never lose sight of your goal. Looking forward to hearing some updates, if you get the chance. Regards, Benched (Alex)
January 31, 200718 yr Accord Hope everything is going well. I'm sure this has to be one of the hardest things you've ever done, but keep following your dreams. Baseball season is nearing and as Dodge said I think a bunch of us are trying to get together for Opening Day in DC. Should be a good time. Take care Flamarlins3(Dan)
January 31, 200718 yr Accord, I know this is probably the hardest experience of your life, but it will turn into one of the most rewarding, something to carry with you throughout your life. Stay focused, keep your dreams alive. You are a hero for being one of the few that help protect the dreams of the many. Stay safe, cgator (Bob)
January 31, 200718 yr Accord, I hope you are doing well, we're all looking for some updates on your progress here so if you can let us know how things are going, it's be great. Keep up the good work and continued good luck in your quest to achieve your dream. -Admin

January 31, 200718 yr Accord, Hey... I'm sure you're feeling pretty run down... but from the little I did talk to you, I know you know that that's part of it all. Thanks for the support you gave me with the Naval Academy and the ROTC scholarship. I got the scholarship and I'm competing for the academy. Looks like I'll be seeing you in a few years... you'll probably be able to kick my butt too. Good luck... and I'm sure we'll be able to keep you as up to date as possible with anything going on with the Marlins. -PitchingWinsGames (C/LTC Ryan Colburn)
