| Civilian Military Operations Center (CMOC) medical clinic is myself and buddy from my reserve base 440th from Milwaukee. The Iraqi girl is Sarah who works at the clinic as an interpreter. The gentleman is named Hussein. Hussein paid dearly for his association with this clinic because insurgents executed his oldest son as a revenge killing when they were not able to get him. | John at Sather Air Base with some appreciative Iraqi children. | ||||||

| Sharing some MRE's for the little sheep herding kids. Sometimes they find unexploded ordnance out in the fields and turn them over to our EOD guys for disposal. | Not much for these sheep to eat | Gave this fire dept. coin to this sheep herding Iraqi kid and really made his day | More Iraqi kids | These guys provide security and firefighting for the northern pipeline that runs thru Kirkuk and northward. We give them classes in CPR and firefighting. They are mostly Kurds and good people and happy that Sadaam is gone. | |||

| Can you believe there are two Joyce's at this base! John ran into this guy at a Sunday service. He spent 7 years in the Irish army and then somehow made it to the states and continues to serve with the US Army. | Old Glory being raised at the firehouse here. We can not keep it up since we are a liberating force. So we raise it to provide dignity and respect then lower it all at the same time. | ||||||
