BLK/BLK w/CGM Stripes- 2010 Camaro 2SS/M6
Need to locate a needle named Zamora in a Haystack
So when I was in CA on work, we rented an Impala from LAX Hertz. When returning the car, I just crammed everything I saw into my bag 'cos we didn't wanna leave anything.
Upon coming home and going through the shyt, I found a camera bag with a 1GB SD card in it. It wasn't my boss's so I looked at the contents and it was pics from a guy named Zamora who's in the army (there were pics of him in uniform and also pics from Iraq or Afghanistan or some place he was stationed that had lots of sand, and also has pics of his family and a vacation in Paris. If it was me, I'd not wanna lose memories like that. So I made it a personal project to find this dude.
I called Hertz LAX and they said they can't find him 'cos he rented the car through Orbitz or travelocity or something so the only phone number they had was to that website office. Doh!!! And the lady was like, you can send it to us and we can keep it her until he calls. I was like HELL NO, I'm not giving it to you. I've left stuff in rental cars and minutes after dropping them off, they were missing and nobody could figure out who took them 'cos it went through their cleaning dept. So she put a note on the system with my name and phone# to give to him if he calls.
Anyways, I made a craigslist post on this (for the LA area) but I doubt he's from there 'cos why would he rent a car in the area he lives, esp. near the airport?

Please help if you can, I know there's a couple guys here in the Army or have resources ... thanks

I had a soldier named Zamora who lived in Victorville California a couple of years ago. He should be an E7 now. The last I knew he was a Drill Sergeant and his family was staying in Victorville while he was at Leonardwood.

Here's a couple more pics from my digging through his personal shyt ... lol ... CL allows only 4 pics so here's the ones that really kinda show his badges on his arms. Hope this really helps 'cos it looks like it'll really narrow it down with the 6 pics between here and CL ... thanks guys. He's put his life on the line for us, the least I could do it get him back all these memories. One of the patches says "Old Ironsides" ... is this a unit patch? ... http://www.1ad.army.mil/STB/home.htm

this might sound incredibly insane...but i may have found him. i messaged this guy...i looked up "zamora" on facebook and there is a "ricky zamora" from texas on there that is friends with a marine that i know. i know...weird.
at any rate. i messaged him and gave him the thread info and the craigslist info so hopefully...cross fingers...it's the right guy.
like i said i also posted it up over on the Patriot Guard website just in case.

Go to military.com and search him up. He might have account.
if you have any license plates pictured in the photos I would try and find out that as well.
