Mississippi native Thomas Hamill was kidnapped by Iraqi insurgents as he drove a fuel tanker truck as part of a convoy near Baghdad. Hamill works for a Halliburton subsidiary, and until recently was a dairy farmer from Macon. He sold his business when things went bad, and signed on to become a civilian worker in Iraq to help pay family bills. His wife Kellie is a longtime 911 dispatcher for Noxubee County, MS.

911 CARES spoke with Kellie's supervisor today and said the following: “We are honoring the wishes of Kellie and her family by not making statements to the press other than making it clear that we hope and pray for the release of all of the hostages. We also have the families of all of our troops in our heart at this time and look forward to their safe return”.

When we explained we were inquiring for 911 CARES, the Supervisor was kind enough to add that Kellie and her husband are wonderful people and that Kellie is more than a wife and a 9-1-1 dispatcher, she volunteers in the community and is loved by all. Kellie and the entire community is anxiously awaiting news about her husband--and his release.

911 CARES has sent a “CARE Package” for all of Kellie's family and co-workers of various 911 cares items.

Cards and letters of support can be sent to:
