To family members, Lee is Superman

Carl Lee is pictured with his brother, Jessie Lee, and his sister, Redena Kilgore. Carl says support from his family members has made his mission easier to handle.

Family members, including his sister Redena Lee Kilgore and brother Jessie Lee, are very proud of his endeavors and call him their “Superman.”

His mother, Linda Lee, has strong feelings about the military situation. “I don’t think the National Guard needs to be over there. That’s what we have the military for,” says Linda. She personally feels the war is not about terrorism, but about oil.

A carpenter by trade, Lee is a Bradley Fighting Vehicle driver and upon completion of his military duty, hopes to attend college to become an engineer. He enjoys music, spending time with his family, hunting and watching NASCAR. Football is also a enjoyable pastime for him, as well as watching movies.

His family is not looking forward to him being gone, at least not so far away from home, but they support him and plan to keep in touch with letters, send care packages and pray for his safe return.
