Thomas Hamill is currently being held hostage by insurgents in Fallujah, Iraq. He is a dairy farmer from Macon, MS who went to Iraq to drive trucks for Kellogg, Brown and Root. Anyone who has flown in Area 4 knows about Macon.

For RumorBuster: Is there anything CTW-1 we can do for his family? Special passes to this week's Blue Angels show? Fund raiser? I know our Meridian-graduates in the fleet are TCB over there, but it would be nice if we could somehow come up with something.

If you can help just 1 family, pop a $1 or $2 in envelope - IRAQ Hostage

Hello,

Don't know if you've heard about this family. Tommy
Hamill is a story of a typical American family trying
to make ends meat; he joined the war in Iraq not only
to bring in a little extra $ for his family, but to be
there in supporting our troops. He is currently being
held hostage. The likelihood of him returning - is
slim. You can read how his co-workers have already
been murdered. He signed a waiver before he left for
his independent contractor's job (he is not in the US
Military), so if he turns up MIA, his family will
still not be able to receive any benefits for their
loss.

This family is running through incredibly hard times.
If you can pop in the mail just $1 or $2 to the
address below, it can make a world of difference for
this family. This is a grass roots driven fundraising
project to help this family. As many will delete this
message thinking (why should I choose this family?).
The choice is yours. This is just one of the freedoms
you have living here - don't you?!

You can read their story and details below at:
