Thumbs up Support This Deployed Soldier.

I am calling on all of you, and others, to support a long time friend of mine. Sgt. Juan Obregon is on his second deployment to Iraq and he will be missing Christmas this year.

Juan and me have been friends for about ten years. Long before both of us joined the Army. He's a stand-up guy and I don't just ask for others out there to support anyone at random.

Juan is combat medic and now being a Sgt., has Soldiers under him who could use some reminders from home as well. So I am asking all of you to send the same types of things you sent me while I was deployed. Snacks, treats, candy, magazines, etc etc.

Now when I was deployed some of you sent me things that where against the rules at my request. Because as we all know the rules apply to everyone but me. But for Juan, please do not send anything that would get him in trouble. Tons of Camaro, Chevy, and Pontiac stuff works too.

I know some of you even have deployed loved ones of your own, so this is something you know all to well. So please send some things to him and his Soldiers to help them get through. Because Christmas in Iraq sucks.

His mailing address:

SGT.Obregon,Juan
Team Archangel HHC, 2-25 AVN REG.
FOB Speicher
APO AE 09393

Please share this with your readers and friends as well.

Thank you all.

I thought I'd include a picture of him without a shirt on for the ladies:

I second that thought.

I would like to see the mods install a dedicated section of Camaro5 for members to help and show respect for our service men and women.

We could make this thread that section if we can get some other members to post their deployed friends and family here.

Anyone who has served his or her country deserves praise for believing in the best among their countrymen and for giving back to the world they know.

CJP,

Great I'll add him to my brothers and sisters list. I know what it means to be deployed.

Just remember folks we should do this year round, not just Christmas.

I agree. I've been twice. I hated it.
