Senior Airman Ashley-Louise Jacobsen hugs a young Iraqi girl goodbye at the end of an Aug. 21 visit by 80 Iraqi nationals to the historical Ziggurat located on Ali Air Base, Iraq. The Ali AB First Four Council sponsored the visit. This is the first time in more than 10 years that Iraqi civilians have been allowed to step on the grounds of the historical site, which was built in the ancient city of Ur and includes the house of the biblical prophet Abraham. Airman Jacobsen is a member of the 407th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron at Ali AB. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Robert W. Valenca)
