    While driving along the ship channel the other day I saw hundreds of used Humvee's, troop carriers, fuel trucks, dozers and graders ect, coming in setting on flat bed rail cars. They were going into a huge fenced in area. At the entrance there was a big sign saying "No attmitance! Foriegn Trade zone". ???

    Just talked to my nephew

    He said the equipment mentioned was probably being fitted with more armor plates. Then sent back to Iraq. He said that is was so hot there, your food did'nt taste well. Then it snowed and was cold. The snow never touched the ground. He's home and out, in a couple of months. Glad he is home safe. I feel for the families of their young ones that have died. PS, He was humble when he talked to me. Roy cde72 Thanks for the reply.
