"NEAR THE SAUDI BORDER - The California National Guard convoy moves across desert along Iraq's border with Saudi Arabia. The Guard unit, staffed by Antelope Valley troops, recovered a half-dozen 60-ton portable bridge units that were left along the Saudi border during the invasion of Iraq. The convoy covered more than 1,400 miles on the trip. "

That is an awesome post...a well-written "human interest" story that shows the ingenuity and courage of our troops. They're doing amazing work across Iraq daily. Dennis Anderson, Antelope Valley Press - thank you.

Thanks, BL. Great read. Gotta love that Mavropoulos. He's what the Greeks used to be -- at Marathon.
