Who were you with in '03? I was a doc with Alpha 1st LAR for the march up and then with TF Scorpion until we were relieved by a brigade from the 82nd and the Polish 10th Armored Brigade. Sure looks like we chewed some of the same dirt!

Tony, some excellent pics! I hope that the pics of the burnt out LAV's the crew got out ok. How about the one where it tipped over in the canal? Looks like they were chasing some bad guys. I have a couple pics of some Abrams in the water. Can't imagine the recovery nightmare with that or any of them for that matter. Thanks for sharing. Semper Fi.

Sopmod6 is right. Gino does know it all or in his own head he thinks so!!! Hey maybe he can ask Obama if he can help pass out the bread and fish, if the next thing he does is try to end world hunger.

Definitely keep the pictures coming. It is enlightening and thought provoking to see what can and does happen over there.
