WAL-MART IRAQ

This the best Wal-Mart you are going find 7,000 miles from home.
Its out side of the front gate. You ask them, they have all from
electronics to jewelry and food. You want it, just tell them.
I did ask for a small refrigerator and they got it for me.

PARTY CONTINUES

It felt good to sit back and relax and visit with everyone.

The food was good, got to meet and greet several people.

As contractors, we had one thing in common, we are

retired military with at least twenty years plus military

expertise in training the new Iraqi army.

TIME FOR A BREAK!

Just like Americans, we must take time out for a cookout!!
Our military and the contractors got together and grilled
hamburgers and hot dogs.  We also served salad and cold
sodas.  This was a good time for all of us to get to know
each other.

COMPLETION OF MOSQUE (DAY & SUNSET)

After several months of their hard work, these are the final results!!

We were the first ones allowed to see the mosque after completion,

before the grand opening.  If you ever have the opportunity to visit

a mosque, they are very beautiful and worth visiting.

We hope, with our friendship, they will now have a better

understanding of Americans.

REBUILDING MOSQUE IN IRAQ

These Iraq workers rebuilt the mosque in our camp. After

noticing these workers, Andy and I went over and introduced

ourselves and brought them cold sodas and cold water, as a

friendly gesture. We found out two of the workers had been

sergeants in Sadaam's army. One person was a karate

champion in Iraq. Sometimes we would have dinner with

them, most of them spoke fairly good english. They lost their

jobs after we invaded Iraq. They were experts in the field of

masonry and painting.
