Operation Iraqi Freedom Twelve years after Operation Desert Storm, the United States, Great Britain and Australia stood against Saddam Hussein's tyrannical regime and halted the export of terrorism.  I'm sure that I can speak from all of the Desert Storm Ruffians when I thank all of the men and women who sacrificed so much for freedom loving people everywhere.

Soldiers of the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), mourn the loss of Captain Christopher Seifert at a memorial ceremony at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait.  Captain Seifert and Air Force Major Gregory Stone were attacked on March 23rd, 2003 by a treasonous murderer within their own ranks.  Captain Seifert died on March 23rd, while Major Stone died as a result of his injuries three days later on March 26th, 2003.  March 23rd, 2003, was a hard day for service men and women in the Iraqi Theatre and there would be many more memorial ceremonies.
