Thank you Neil hendrix

[wb1895]

Several weeks ago I posted in a thread about the Uwahrrie Rally in NC. I am stuck here in Iraq and that rally was 30 minutes from my home. This was one of my first posts and I was welcomed on this site from the start.

Soon after that post I was sent a PM by Neil hendrix. Neil wanted to know my address here in Iraq so he could send me a gift. After a couple weeks of waiting I got the gift from Neil.

I was amazed to find a Steel Soldiers T-shirt, a SS hat and some other edible goodies. I was amazed that Neil would spend his own time and his own money to send ME, a complete stanger, such wonderful gifts. This is a testiment to the outsanding fellowship that the SS site and the MV community have.

So, Neil my hat is off you you and I want to say THANK YOU!! It is the small things in life that I will always remember and The gift from a SS member who I had not even met while I was in Iraq will be one of them.

Sincerly,

Cpl, Walter Blower
FOB Falcon Iraq

You are right Walter, Neil is quite the Man. Neil and I have PM'd and talked on the phone a few times...We have yet to meet. I consider him a good friend. PM me your addy and my Wife and I will send a "CARE" package to you and your buddies. This is something all of us should be doing. Keep your powder dry!

P.S. Neil also has a very purty truck!

YOUR at FALCON??? Wow , thats where I was. I thought noone would go back to that small crappy camp. Neil is a good guy and its great to hear that he would take the time and send cool things to a real Soldier.
We are starting a fund rasier to mail something 90% of people dont send Soldiers and Marines that they need the most , phone cards.

I would have loved to have SS or Military Vehicles stuff over there lol.
