Sunnyvale, CA Council Member Otto Lee Returns from Iraq

By John | Thursday, January 28, 2010 | View Comments

Advertise on 8Asians.com

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:

“Please join Congressmembers Anna Eshoo, Mike Honda, & Zoe Lofgren in welcoming home Commander Otto Lee and sharing our sincere appreciation for his service in Iraq

Dynasty Restaurant
10123 N. Wolfe Rd.
Cupertino, CA 95014

Individual $125
Table: $1,250
Event Co-Host: $2,400

Please RSVP at rsvp@ottolee.org / (415) 850-8628. A portion of your contributions will be donated to USO to benefit our troops and their families.”
