I got a letter from a friend of mine Gen Leroy Sisco a few days ago and once again I was touched at how a man like the General can be so grounded as to remember me when it comes to things like this. I have known the General for almost four years we were introduced at a small group prayer meeting down in a office he was sharing in San Antonio. This was when Military Warriors Support Foundation was in it’s early days and I was delighted to meet a Retired General that not only cared about the soldiers but truly cared about the Lord.

I heard back from our USO guy over here...and this is what he said,"The USO is checking to see if they had a previous "almost" tour with your friend. As far as I am concerned the ball is now in their court. As far as you and your friend ar concerned please fell free to contact USO or Armed Forces Entertainment about joining one of their tours."

sooo....i guess somehow we have to contact either of the two, im not quite sure how to go about that. but im sure we can figure something out. take it easy!

I thought some might be interested in a simple dialog between a female soldier in the Iraq and myself. We met through Twitter and have a shared love of drag racing. I am letting you pick it up from the beginning….

How are ya?

Having an average day. Finally kicking back into racing mode and am ready to move forward. This year everything is new, new sponsors new way of doing things but things have been very receptive and not so many closed doors.

Sometimes I think that with a good foundation I can just keep building on it and things will get easier but I am finding that to often the only thing left standing is that foundation and now for another season I will have to build it all over again.

Biographical Sketch

Tina Stull was born in Fullerton, California, where she grew up with her parents and three siblings.

Her family attended First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton under the Pastoral care of then new pastor

Chuck Swindoll. She graduated from Troy High School in 1983 and attended USC for several semesters, then

transferred to Westmont College in Montecito, CA. She earned a BA degree in Economics and Business in 1989

after attending a special semester with International Business Institute. This program was an intense study

of economics and marketing in foreign regions such as the Soviet Union, Scandinavia and Western Europe.

Following graduation Tina worked in Retail and Food Management, Car Sales,

Video Production, Accounting, and Integrative Counseling for Neurological disorders.

Married in 1991 to film director Tim Kiser, the two produced everything from music videos,

television to industrial videos. In 1993 Tina retired from co-owned business Nitro

Productions in order to be a full time mother. Soon after Stephanie’s arrival, both the

business and marriage collapsed. With a new start Tina and daughter ventured on.

Tina was first introduced to the sport of Drag Racing back in the late 90's when her father

was working with Joe Gibbs, owner of a Funny Car/Top Fuel team. Football coaching

legend, Joe Gibbs and his team was a huge influence in her becoming involved in the

National Hot Rod Association (NHRA).

In 1998 Tina went to the Frank Hawley Drag Racing School in Pomona, California

to see if she had what it took to actually drive one of these dragsters, As soon as she

made her first pass in a super comp car she knew this was what she wanted to do, but her

dreams were temporarily put on hold. In 1999 Tina married a San Antonio Retired Army

veteran and she and her daughter moved to Boerne, Texas. It wasn't until 2002 when

she was diagnosed with terminal cancer (Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma) that her dream to

drive and manage a professional drag racing team came back to the forefront. She

realized for the first time, it was Now or Never if she wanted to go racing.

In 2007 after a couple of visits to BAMC’s burn and amputee center, she

decided to ask the track for some tickets to share with the Soldiers and their families,

thinking the track would be a great way to take a break from the endless hours of rehab.

From there the program grew from 50 tickets to as many as 6000 tickets per event. What

started out as an outreach to the wounded became an opportunity to say thanks to all that

serve.

In 2008 she finished 42nd in the world points in the Super Comp class and 10th in her division.

She has visited over 30 military bases and installations and has distributed over 50,000 tickets

and 2 tons of free materials to the troops. She has worked

with Country Western stars, professional sports teams, and has spoken in over a dozen

prisons. Her background in SPECT Imaging and PTSD has given her a unique

understanding of the stresses on troops in the military. Currently she is working with

several military focused ministries to provide on-going opportunities for both Troops and

their families.
