Tim Goodrich is the West coast contact of the Iraq Veterans Against the War and one of its founding members. While in the Air Force, he was stationed at Tinker AFB, OK as part of the 552 AMXS squadron where he maintained communication, navigation, and cryptological systems on the E-3 AWACS command and control aircraft.
Tim deployed to the Middle East three times during his enlistment. The first deployment was in support of Operation Southern Watch (patrolling of southern no-fly zone over Iraq). During his second deployment, Tim provided direct combat support for Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) shortly after the attacks on September 11, 2001. His final, and possibly most significant deployment, was again in support of Operation Southern Watch. During this time, he participated in the intensified bombing of Iraq during the fall of 2002, while President Bush was stating that diplomacy would be used first and before the U.S. Congress or the United Nations had been approached.
