Third Deployment

We deployed in March 2003 for the onset of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). It was my shortest deployment, at just one month. Of course, I left early due to a war injury (or rather a softball injury - how embarrassing!) Frank came home soon after me.


The picture on the left is me heading home from a day's work. It is early morning since we worked at night. On the right I am lost in a dust storm. They could get pretty bad at times to where you could only see maybe two feet in front of you! The other shot on the right is of me and Frank in our 'home'. On this deployment I found out how amazingly hard it is to walk in sand with crutches!
