Hello Everyone,
Please send anything you want. At the post office you will need to fill out a Customs Form.
All is going well, wish I was home.

Photo shows some of the wild stuff you can find in the desert. Iraq has more ammunition than the US and it's everywhere.
I think I'm going to join the Novice Rocket Club, no park will be safe.

P.S. that is a Soviet made AT-3 Sagger Anti-Tank Missile, I found 50ea

Hey Rich is this what I put on the package I send to you and your unit?

If so let me know here so I can send some goods your way, also let us/me know what the most important thing you guys are doing without?

We all appreciate the job you're doing over there for your country, and your in my families prayers.

I happened to end up in the hospital for about a week, nothing compared to what you guys are going through there, but I understand EXACTLY what it's like to not have the convienience of a mini-mart across the street, or a pizza when you don't feel like cooking.

Being deprived of the pleasantrys of normal everyday life, and a regular home for a few days will really make a guy appreciate the little things. I look forward to your reply, as soon as I find out were to send it, it' on it's way. That is considering you'll still be there.

Keep safe

Hey 88 where are ya at? I am at camp Spiecher. Its about thirty minutes from the palace. Its nice that it is cooling down now huh, even though its still 100 degrees. Allright two thirdgeners here. Are you with 4ID? Take it easy and keep your head down.
Later, Rocc

LYkan: hello, that address is correct and use it...thanks

Rocc4u: I'm also at Spiecher at 64th CSG HQ in the S-1 office, come visit.

Everyone else I'm currently at Kokan Lake on the Iranian border, I will fix the photo that was to appera on my last post.

Fun with captured weapons...AK-47

Hello 88 iroc can you give us that address to send things to you again. be safe see ya rex

Hello everyone,
Glad to see that everyone is enjoying the pictures. Two days ago my co-workers were on a convoy North of Baghdad. The Iraqis sprung a ambush on their vehicles. The initiated it with three explosive devices and the fired on my friends with AKs and RPG. Luckly only one soldier was slightly injured and one Hummer had it's brakes disabled by fragments. I think the quick reaction forces caught up with them and killed one and captured one.

My buddy(1973 Camaro) fired off 25 rounds at the attackers while they were evading the incoming fire.

Just antoher day in beautiful Iraq.
If you want to send anything to the troops, here is my address.
We will gladly send you some Iraqi Dinars with Saddam on the.
Wish I was home with the family and the cars, soon.

Howdy
SInce my Camaros are so far away, I have chosen another form of transportation. Up, up and away

how you do that??

Learning tricks from the Indian's are we? Think you might be able to make it to the Annual Houston gathering coming in this December? Be safe and thanks again to all you guys and gals over there takin' care of business!

Mike (1bad91Z)

Do you have an updated Needs List? I forwarded this thread to some guys here at the hospital and one stand-up guy (whose Dad was USN in Vietnam) has already gone shopping, returning with a big box of (I think) toiletries. He is going to shoot for some books as well. I currently have the last year's worth of car mags (5.0, sorry heh) and PC mags, and should be able to dig up at least half a year of Maxim At any rate, what else comes to mind for you and your fellow warriors? We hope to send the boxes out this week for the sake of the holidays.

Peace, be safe

Ken

Hello,
The soldiers and myself appreciate anything you can send. Books, magazines, DVD, snacks, etc..

Life in Iraq is a blast.

I emailed you as well Rich. Mags are on the way from me and more items from my coworker. Thanks for the update.

K

Hello
Kevin V, I want to thank you and your friends for the packages. The soldiers and myself used every item that was sent. It is a real morale booster to know that heros back home still care about the soldiers. Please tell everyone and anyone that soldiers here always enjoy recieving something from home.

I want thank everyone once more and we have a token of appreciation in the mail.

P.S. picture is to remember our fallen heros

I am VERY glad to see that the packages made the trip. I will make sure that my buddy sees this post.

Thank you for staying in touch. Posts (and pics) like yours keep your presence over there at the forefront of our collective mind back here, and that's the way it should be.

We're with you 150% Rich. Stay safe and *** Bless.

Hey
Kevlar Helmet $250
Interceptor Body Armor $500
10 foot long rocket fired by Iraqis that missed my building............
PRICELESS!!!

P.S. Apache catching the Rocketeers and reducing them by seven...even better

here

Is that part of a rocket or is it a leg ? Too blurry to tell !

Hey 91
That's part of the rocket (SS-30 ASTROS, 127mm), I had to dig about five feet into the ground to get that piece out. That rocket hit us about 10:30PM, some thought it was a low flying plane til it exploded.
The good news is that I will be in Texas for two weeks starting around the 28th, got leave.
I wish I was there for the gathering.

Just wanted to let you know you've got another very appreciative thirdgenner back home rooting for you guys. You're in our prayers.

Hey IROCARMY are you still here at spiecher? If so have you come out to friday night fights yet? Me and a couple of my boys put the ring together. If you wanna come let me know and I will get you front seats. The first week of December DIVARTY is bringing a team up and the CG will be back here so it will be a good one. Later

Rocc4u
I won't be able to attend the fight, getting ready to go to Balad sunday for my leave flight. Which chowhall do you got to, 4th Bde or across from the stadium. When I return I will link up with you.

I eat at the 4th BDE chow hall. Have fun on leave bro ,it goes by fast. Just let me know when your back and we can get together. Have fun and be safe.

Hey when you get back reply and ill send you stuff. I havent seen this post or i would have already. I dont expect anything in return but if your willing a peice of something we destroyed or a saddam bill would be cool. Also rocco you guys need anything? Got the latest Super chevy or car craft or anything? I could send you something if yall need morale too?

Thanks alot M84Z28. I apreciate the Morale support. I cant really think of much we could use out here unless you know of any ...um hmmum 21 year old..um good lookin..mm oh never mind she wouldnt make it anyways.
But yeah if you have any old issues or issues you already read a few times send my way. There are a few of us that would love to read through em.

Ah nevermind That was before i knew you owned a couple of *cough* Stangs. JJ LOL No it will probably be the monday after thanksgiving but i well get you some stuff. Im thinking maybe some issues of vette (my least favorite of my subscriptions) and maybe the new car craft and super chevy. I still cant part with most of my back issues of camaro performers or super chevy or car craft. I will probably send some hot rod back issues.

Happy Thanksgiving man.

The ever-so-home-printed-looking Dinars made the trip, along with the plate (to which I gave the "Which way is up?" look )

Thanks for the letter as well. It's rewarding to know that there is something we can do for all that you do out there, and to know who you guys are. We enjoyed reading about the good you are doing, and not all the filtered cr@p we get from the media.

Good to see leave is in your immediate future. I hope the time here with family gives you more than enough energy to head back to saving the world with a smile, and a vengeance if necessary.

*** Bless, and thanks again Rich.

PS Update the list when it is prudent for you. If not for Christmas then for the New Year. I'm going through mags like nobody's biz, even if some are F0rd-related

Edit: PPS I am looking to buy a house and get married in the coming year. One thing at the front of my mind through this process is how thankful Leticia and I are that our warriors were there, are there and will be there to protect what we enjoy in the USA. (She is prior Army Reserve but forgives me for being prior active USN )

Greetings all,
I've been looking for this site/thread for a few months now. I'm a friend of Rich's and an F-Body owner too.
I just wanted to let you know he made it home in time for Thanksgiving with his family.

Ben

Thanks for the update. Man, I bet he is thrilled to be back in town

K

Hello,
I HAVE MADE IT BACK!!!!!
It is great to be home and driving again. I want to thank everyone for their support, it really made a difference for those deployed and myself.

I have already started working on both of the Camaros and I hope to meet some of the local board members one day.

There is no place like home. Please remeber and support our troops.

Thank You
Rich Sahli

time to drive

awesome to have you back! I'm a newcomer here so just ran across this thread but wanted to chime in my .02 and say that words can't express what you guys (and gals!) are doing for us over there!

:hail: :hail: :hail:

Hey Rich! Glad to find out that you are safely stateside. Hope it's for a VERY long time, as in for good.

Again, thanks for your sacrifices Rich. I'm proud to know you even if it's just on TGO.

Peace,

K

PS Thanks and good luck to Ragin'87 as well.
