The following pictures are probably the last I take of my time here in Tall 'Afar. On Friday, February 20, a Memorial Service was held for Spc Michael M. Merila who died of injuries sustained by an IED. You can see some pictures of his Memorial Service - Click Here
During the service, just outside our camp, another soldier was injured by another cowardly attack against us. These low-lives won't face us face-to-face . . . they slither around the back alleys and use hit-and-run techniques. They're living on borrowed time. Sooner or later everyone answers for their actions!
The injured soldier was brought in by a Medical Helicopter and I managed to get a few photos through the windshield of my truck as he arrived. The injured soldier sustained intensive injuries but will be alright. He is part of the Special Operation (Special Ops) Team pictured here. Ass-Kickers!

You'll also see some Iraqi soldiers who moved into our camp for two-weeks of training by us. First we shoot 'em then we feed 'em!
