I was in Iraq from the end of 03 to the beginning of 05. My TPT had the pleasure of serving with ODA 515-561 in Al Kut. Iraq was messy even back then and I'm sure it hasn't got any better now.

GOD speed to those who died. RIP brothers.

May you continue to rest in peace, my Brothers!

Lest we ever forget....
