Our unit had a journalist with us that shared his photos just wanted to post a few to show some of the terrain of the current fight in Helmand. He did a great job i think.

Re: afghan summer 09

boy the helmand province brings back some memories. i was there in 2006-2007 with 10th mountain 2-4 infantry. in multiple firefights we ran the specter's dry completely out of ammo.

nice pics and glad you got back alright

Re: afghan summer 09

Great pics! I have that 5th one on my desktop here at work now thanks!

I would think it would be tough to get the rights to that picture. Would have to get ahold of that photog and all that... what a PITA.
