Photos from Iraq

We're lucky to get some photos from 1t Lt. Jason McLaughlin, XO of 632nd Maintenance Company, and originally from Dundalk, Md. You can read earlier post from the lieutenant regarding last Thursday's column. The captions are Lt. McLaughlin's:

These are some of my Soldiers in line for a small arms range on
Forward Operating Base (FOB) Marez

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a classic. These are some of my fellow soldiers sleeping on an M1114 uparmored MMMWV. These troops just drove four hours from a place called Q-West on a Personal Security Detail (PSD)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am on the right and on my left is 1st Lt. Carlos Ortiz Jr. from Norfolk, Va.

SPC Damien Fields (middle), a medic from the 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment, mentors SPC Harvey during the saline-lock practical exercise, part of combat life-saver training, at FOB Marez in Mosul. Lt. McLaughlin calls this picture 'PFC Harvey sticking it to the man!'.

Isn't great we have these young men still believing in America to fight for our freedom just as their forefathers did many years ago? So what is wrong with other young men in America that want their freedom but won't fight for it? The more we have in the Army the more power we have to bring all these young men home.
