Members of the U.S. Mountain Ranger Association (USMRA), I would like to express my deepest
appreciation for the donation of $2000.00 you made to the 5 Enclosed with this letter, are two checks totaling $1000.00 to be deposited into the Christmas Fund for this year. This donation was made by John Heath SR. of REMAX 400 North in Dawsonville, as a result of a program his company runs to assist the USMRA. As you may remember, he proposed during the annual meeting held during the Open House this past year that he would donate 10% of his company’s commission on any sale made as a result of a referral from a member of the USMRA or member of the battalion. This check is proof that he is serious about his offer. In total, John has donated over $4000.00 to the USMRA over the past 36 months. This is a relationship I hope you maintain as an organization after my departure. The USMRA has accomplished a great deal for this battalion. Most members of the battalion don’t understand how much you really do, or where the support they receive outside the military programs come from. I know you all prefer to remain in the shadows and not be recognized, so from me to you, I will simply say, thank you for all the intangible things you do for this battalion and Ranger families. Glenn Legg 8 January 2007 Mr. Henry Ostaszewski, I would like to express my deepest appreciation for the donation of $1000.00 made in your name to the U.S. Mountain Ranger Association (USMRA) through John Heath SR., and REMAX 400, for use in assisting 5 Ranger Training Battalion families. The USMRA is a non-profit organization which is in existence to support and assist Rangers and their families and this donation will directly benefit the Rangers of 5 Ranger Training Battalion. I am amazed the support we receive, in many forms, from the Dahlonega and Dawsonville communities and individuals such as you, that help Rangers and their families. Again, thank you for helping the battalion chain of command take care of Rangers and Ranger families. Generally this type of donation is used to help families during the holiday season and will be earmarked for that purpose during the 2007 holiday season. Again, thank you. Rangers Lead the Way! Glenn Legg 28 February 2006 Members of the U.S. Mountain Ranger Association (USMRA), I would like to express my deepest appreciation for the donation of $5300.00 you made to the 5th Ranger Training Battalion for use in assisting battalion families in need during this Holiday Season. Your contributions allowed the Company First Sergeants to identify and help more members of their companies than would have been possible without your generous contributions. In particular this Holiday season, your contributions made difference. As some of you know, one member of the battalion had his home burn down in December, rendering all his family possessions a total loss. Today, I am returning $600 to the Christmas fund for use next year. I am amazed a relatively small organization such as the USMRA is able to do so much for so many Rangers and their families. We were careful to insure the assistance did not make the families uncomfortable to accept. Again, thank you for helping the battalion chain of command take care of Rangers and Ranger families. Rangers Lead the Way! Glenn Legg Michael D. Pemrick 11 June 2005
30 December 2004 What follows is an excerpt from an interview conducted by Ross Hall with Ranger Jack Daniels: "That Mountain Ranger Association is the finest Ranger organization going. Because they're more concerned about each other. That Sergeant Major Legg was almost dumbfounded when he found out how much money had been collected (at the last meeting). You don't find any other Ranger organizations that do that--they get along, they don't fuss, they don't fight, they don't say bad things about each other. They're not always hunting to try and get over on somebody else." "I've taken up for a lot of people who have been maligned, but I say that about the Mountain Ranger Association because I've never had to do that. I've never had to say anything at all in defense of another individual because all the brothers are honorable. They're all concerned about each other. You hear a lot of joking, a lot of laughing, and I go down there once a month just to purify my soul." 16 December 2004 Members of the US Mountain Ranger Association, I would like to express my deepest appreciation for the donation of $1671.00 you made to the 5th Ranger Training Battalion for use in assisting battalion families during the Holiday Season. Your contributions allowed the Company First Sergeants to identify and help more members of their companies than would have been possible without your generous contribution. I am amazed a relatively small organization such as the USMRA was able to do so much for so many Rangers and their families. Again, thank you for helping the battalion chain of command take care of Rangers and Ranger families. Rangers lead the way!

Flohr 23 December 2004 I attended Mountain Ranger school (
part of class 1-81 ) as a freelance photojournalist for Soldier of Fortune
Magazine. Humping a ruck through the Chattahoochee National Forest, night
rappel on Yonah, all great memories. They made me an honorary ranger, gave me a
tab and said, "You got good legs, Pop" (I was 38 at the time). I consider that
my greatest compliment. |
