Interesting that I just got an email from Mr. Gee. Imagine though, not a word about what I talked about! Not one word about our PT vets! Here's what I got:
Mr. Wilbur:
Thank you for your thoughtful note. Be assured that I have apologized for my comments and that I meant no disrespect to the soldiers who have served Poland and the wider world.
Sincerely,
E. Gordon Gee
President
I'm not sure exactly how to reply to this!!! Any suggestions?

Sounds like an insincere form letter Ray.
I sent an e-mail to the president of the Polish American Association in case he missed it. Are there some Navy veteran groups that could help get this wider coverage? I don't like being so vindictive but the ignorance of his slanders and his apparent insincerity have hit a nerve. Saying he didn't mean to disrespect is a bald-faced lie.

I got the same E Mail this morning, so it must be a generic E Mail that their office is sending out. Nothing sincere, a real classless form of letter...............

I think he's competing with the republican candidates for who can make the most rediculous comments. I don't think he's worth the energy.

An UPDATE! I just got an email from Mr Gee. I informed him of the concerns about his statement concerning PT boat veterans and how this group of people was growing smaller in numbers everyday and that they did not have such a huge voice as others.
Here is his reply
""""""""""""""""
Mr. Whitaker:
Thank you for taking the time to write. Although my apology was directed in response to an inquiry from the Polish American Congress, I am certainly sorry to learn that others were offended by my comments. I have the greatest respect for members of our armed services, and I would never mean to diminish their service or bravery.
Again, I appreciate your thoughtful note.
Sincerely,
E. Gordon Gee
President

Thanks Gary, it was good to get a response from him other than the automated chain style email. Hope this eases everyone a bit. However, from what I've read. He is prone to say goofy things on a regular basis.
