Kabul, Afghanistan July 2008

Hindu Kush range


Some young guys from 6-4 Cavalry are out here on Combat Outpost Lowell.

It's their first deployment in Nuristan,

a lethal, remote province in northeast Afghanistan near Pakistan.

They are about to spend their respective 19th or 20 somethingth Thanksgivings

10,000 ft above sea level

in unheated, rock buildings

amidst new fallen snow

and amongst people who's sole purpose for living is seeing these calvarymen dead

and who pursue this endeavor at least once or twice a day.

Be sure to keep these men in mind.

I'll be posting more about them and what we can do for them very soon.

Just tying up some loose ends.
