Wisconsin Company Nasty To Soldier Serving in Iraq
Military.com and confirmation from snopes.com ^ | 19 January 2007 | booksbenji

Posted on 01/20/2007 10:58:33 PM PST by icwhatudo

A soldier based in Iraq got this response when inquiring as to whether or not the company ships overseas. He wanted to get the troops better gear to sleep on.

To Whom it may concern:

Do you ship to APO addresses?

I'm in the 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Iraq and we are trying to order some mats but we are looking for who ships to APO first.

SGT Hess,

We do not ship to APO addresses, and even if we did, we would NEVER ship to Iraq.

If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq.

My elderly mother went into an oriental rug store in Raleigh NC to inqure about having a rug cleaned. Out of nowhere the owner laid into her about the war. She hadn't said anything other than ask if he could clean her rug or recommend someone who could and this guy starts in. She left in tears. I did some research and discovered him to be Iranian. I thought about calling him and letting him have it back, but instead I am just telling people about the incident and hoping he loses business.

Thanks. I just hope she is safe and happy in England. From what I hear from her father (my ex) , she will be back in about 6 months. Maybe she will come home and visit us. She is welcome to anytime she wants to, it would be nice to see my grandson. Have a great day! ~~Pandora~~

In my email I asked each person to copy and paste it . I am aware of that . I am getting replies to it and the question I am being asked is why our troops have to buy their own mats. To that I have no answer. ~Pandora~~

When I sent the email out I included the link in the email. I also asked everyone to copy and paste the email and foreword it. So far my mailbox is full of replies and each one of them are mad about this. I always put in links when I can. Thanks for the help. ~~Pandora~~

You have mail. My other children are all adults except for the 7 yr old. Each of my boys are a blessing, as is the 7 yr old daughter. We all have been through hell with my daughter. But we still love her. We all have been through therapy for this and we function very well as a family. Even with my oldest daughter's problems we have been a close family with much love between us. I am the mother, by the way. Thanks for the post. ~~Pandora~~

Playing around w/ Wisconsin gov databases, most of them charge money for doc searches, and it's hard anyway if you don't have the full corporate name they actually filed under.

However, a "RAMZAN KHETANI" previously had a consulting biz registerd at the same West Allis address:

Curiously, there is a Ramzan Khetani doing tech support for the Wisconsin Department of Administration:

http://www.doa.state.wi.us/staff_detail.asp?staffid=1565&divid=4&bureauid=43&sectionid110

Just for fun. Your advice to be sure of one's target is well taken.

Just don't call during Muslim prayers - that might be a hate crime.

But why, I wonder, do they not give out their email or phone number on the webpage that tells us their webpage is down? It's almost like they don't want us to get ahold of them! Geez, wonder why?
