After serving a year in Iraq as a logistics officer helping with the U.S. withdrawal, former mayor, current Sunnyvale council member and Navy reservist Otto Lee returned back to the Bay Area. The last time I saw Otto was back in July when Otto was on leave from Iraq after serving there for six months. As I have mentioned before, I cannot imagine leaving my wife and two young children and spending a year in a war zone; I’ve always been amazed at his wife Sally’s strength when Otto was away. Whenever I had heard of any bombings and causalities of war in Iraq, I always prayed for Otto’s safety.
For those interested in honoring Commander Otto Lee, there is a dinner for him on Friday, February 5th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm:
