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.

I don't wish to meddle too much, but are your other five children involved in any notion of a 'family unit' at all? This shouldn't all be strapped to your back, particularly if you have grown and autonomous ones.
If daughter is having problems, the last thing you need are factions within the family. I'm going through that now with my older sister, though we're approaching peace and happiness.
Prayer helps a lot.
Make your opinions known, Dad. You've been blessed and deserve an emotional harvest.
It doesn't. Sorry to be blunt, but mass-forwarded e-mail is almost always a bad idea. If you want to alert your friends, provide a link to a Web page (like, say, Snopes' page on the story), because if the story turns out to be bogus or the facts change, a Web page can be updated. Mass e-mails can't, and they don't stop spreading when they go out of date.
Not only that, but people have a tendency to include all the e-mail addresses in the e-mails they forward. Most don't, but it only takes one person in each recipient's address book, and before you know it, your address and everyone in your address book, and everyone in their address book, on down line, are floating all over the Internet.
Here is the email that I sent to Michelle Malkin. (the same went one by one to 28 others, milbloggers, national talk show hosts and local talk show hosts)

Wisconsin Company Disrespects Our Vets!
Wonder how big a donation this business owner gave to the john kerry campaign in 2004, and democrat campaigns in 2006???

This is a Wisconson-based Company......
Below is an email exchange between a friend of mine's husband and a company that sells different types of mats. He is stationed in Iraq and was inquiring as to whether or not the company ships overseas. He wanted to get the troops better gear to sleep on.
This is the companies response -- I am floored as a military wife and as an American!!!
Please post this so that this company will hear us loud and clear that we do not stand for this.
Whatever your view is on this war - these troops are just following orders.
Most are passionate about what they are doing. You can disagree with the war without disrespecting our troops!!!
Bump.
Go get 'em FReepers.
Ping!

The first thing this soldier needs to do is contact his Exchange Manager or Regional Manager and see if they can get the items in for that region. The Exchanges to a fine job getting needed items for their military customers.
Well, this is obviously a European company. No American company or American based company would do anything like this. Just ask any Freeper.
Screw the French. Nuke Europe.

Some information for you research experts.
But as Confucius said: Be sure of your target.
Maybe the landlord needs a call?
How about building permits?
How about business licenses?
Exactly and that is why most companies have such strict internet usage rules in their work places.
I've got a feeling the company is going to take the appropriate action against Mr. Khetani. At least they better.....
The owner is a muslim. What do you expect?
Sikhs are the most anti-muslim people on earth. No people have suffered more under Islamic oppression and genocide than the Sikhs.
LOL!! I just read your bio page and ditto ditto DITTO! to all the sentiments you expressed!! Oh, and prayers for your daughter. My niece just married a muslim and it's already a weird so-called 'marriage'!
