The majority in the mass-media only wish the general public to view the chaos, evil & even tragic deaths of Coalition troops caused by Islamic terrorists via 'homicide' car bombings, triggered by demented, death driven mad men. Free Iraqis are also putting their lives on the line everyday in their brave service in the Iraqi Army & police forces. It's high time the public is shown Coalition forces for all the various humanitarian assistance they have been offering the normal freedom loving people of Iraq. The very real sacrifice Coalition troops are making every day of the week will be shown here frequently. If there are those which would like to pool photo research just drop me a line. ========================================================================

FYI, I just sent this info to the OU Sports Information Department. I hope someone gets a nice card or something...
"FYI, I just sent this info to the OU Sports Information Department."
You beat me to it.
I'll also fire off a notice to them.
Maybe if they get at least a couple of notices on this the OU Sports Info. staff will get
in gear to do something with the info.
I did scan the athletics section of the OU website and noticed that the
annual sports banquet (awards and such) usually happens around Dec. 12 or so.
The naming of this base (and the MPs from Buffalo that probably were
the ones that made it happen) surely should at least get a mention when they hand out
the Kalsu award.
(I think I'll drop any Mason-Dixon Line issues on this topic!)
Is it just me but did anyone else find this photo disturbing?
It looks like an episode of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" does Iraq.
These are from :
The Braden Files
Curiosities of math, history, parachuting, etc...

"I like that last one!"that is good thank you :}}}}
Thank you for posting. Amaing men and women! They can be very proud of their efforts.
Wow - lots of great photos - Thank you :)
Thank you for you comments. The photo in question of the Polish or American soldier(?) was taken from this Polish military web-site: http://www.irak.pap.pl/cgi-bin/irak.pl
You may be correct. A few photos were taken from that Polish site & posted. The photo-text, all in Polish, then translated, was placed next to the photo, but since some of the photos did not display, the text remained, and may have been misplaced with another photo.
You are right, the flag looks American though. The location is 100% Iraq & the Coalition soldier in question is aiming in the direction of bad guys. :)
Please do. I talked to a very nice young lady there, but this all happened "before her time" and I'm not sure I did a good job explaining it all.
huh?
Don't pay him any attention. He's obviously very sick.
