Hello to All,
I wanted to give everyone the latest and greatest from An Numaniyah, Iraq. Well, I'm still here and as of today, the "Official" Countdown has begun, 2 Months and 26 Days.
All remains the same here. The team continues to push forward with their assignments. Evaluations and Awards have been submitted and we are starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel. I can honestly say, this year has flown by.
I want to thank everyone for everything they have done for the team. Your care packages have meant the world to all of us. Speaking for myself, everything that I have received has been distributed amongst the team. And everyone here thanks you.
I also wanted to let everyone know I have a NEW mailing address:

Hello to all,
Sorry for such a long delay, we continue to be extremely busy here at An Numaniyah. We are still pushing the Iraqi Army to start working on their own. However, much doesn’t seem to get accomplished without the Americans pushing. We have been able to get the Medical Clinic a much needed Medical Incinerator. We pushed the IA to clean up their Medical Follow Up Section (Medical Rehab). We are continuing to repair one of the Dining Facilities and Warehouses. I am personally involved with the IA Life Support (i.e., making sure IA Soldiers have water to drink during the day, shelter, food, etc.). I am also continuing to provide Humanitarian Medical Support (i.e., basic medicines and first aid). I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, and once I depart will miss everyone that I have met.
Sometimes, I wonder what will happen when we finally depart this country. I have my own theory, however, time will tell.
We really appreciate everything that is being done for our team. The Care Packages are always a welcome sight. Everyone shares their Care Packages. It’s GREAT to have them.
Again, thank you for the care packages.
Very Respectfully,
Wilford LeeRoy Carter

Good Morning and Hello from Iraq. Well, it's officially HOT! The weather continues to stay well over 100 degrees each day and the worst is yet to come. From what I'm being told, July and August are the two hottest months of the year. Boy, I can't wait.......NOT! LOL!
As my tour in Iraq continues I am helping more and more individuals (i.e., Iraqi Soldiers and Civilians) who are not Coalition Forces. I continue to meet new people everyday. Learn about this culture is awesome. In many ways the Arabic culture is similiar to the American Culture and different at the same time.
Items that are needed here are: Twin Size Sheets; shoes (athletic and soccor) and boots (Tan Military) (Any and All Sizes) (Nothing new, items for places such as Good Will works); Bath Soap; Shampoo; Deodorant; Burn Cream; Sun Block; Children and Infant's Clothes; School Supplies; Vitamins; and Baby Wipes.
Everyone's help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you for your contined Support.
Sincerely,
LeeRoy Carter

Any Soldier Program,
Good Afternoon from Iraq. As the weather is beginning to Heat Up and the Sand Storms continue we are working hard as military advisors to the Iraqi Army (IA). A lot of great things are happening around the base. The IA is building a Garden for Base beautification. The Coalition Forces have turned over a Dining Facility to the IA and we established a new Food Warehouse. Our Generator, Fuel and Facilities Advisor has established a Maintenance Program for the entire base. All of the Coalition Advisors are constantly out advising the IA.
I've attached two Photos of our Team with the Iraqi Base Commander and one of a Sand Storm heading to the Base.
As always, thank you for your Time, Efforts and Support.
