Raising the Flag

On July 4th, I was able to have a flag flown over the base here in Al Taqaddum, Iraq. It will make a nice souvenier. The weather was perfect, not too hot - not too cold. A slight breeze allowed the flag to wave patriotically over the "Dark Tower" or command post.

Marine Corps Gunney Sgt prints out my commemorative certificate to keep with the flag. Thanks Gunney!
