“You guys watch the news and you see how bad it is ... well magnify a hundred times over and that is really how it is,” Lee said. “You all have helped me in the past send items over to the troops in fact in 3 years together we sent over 317 care boxes . I just came back from Camp Victory today via Route Irish which is the most dangerous stretch of road in the world and the folks there are kicking ass and taking names.

“They sleep on the front lines when they sleep and that does not even get close to all the smaller units we now have set up around Baghdad in the neighborhoods who are constantly getting hit. These guys and gals are giving there all and some of them are not coming back...ever. We just lost four brave soldiers yesterday.”

Lee has recently received packages from the following teams: Junkyard Willys Racing, Tweaked Ya Racing and recently received an email from Pro Modified racer Danny Rowe.

“We have some of the Iraqi forces, who are great people who just want their country to survive and flourish,” Lee said. “So in short if you got some of the shirts , hats and stuff that might bring a smile to face of young and old displaced drag race fan send it to my address below and I will get it out to them. You have no idea what it might do just to make someone's day and you will have a fan for life. These folks are special and I think as a racing family we can show them how much we care about them.”
