I do love it when you show your colors! : ) Did they do something special on the ship for all the Americans for the 4th? I'm thinking 'yes' because you don't normally have red, white, and blue balloons, especially in a country that has white, blue, and green as its national colors.
Thanks for posting this photo. A picture is worth a thousand words!
Have you ever wondered how a soldier on the front lines of battle in Afghanistan celebrates the 4th of July? Brian wrote "I had a great 4th of July actually! We were out at one of the strong points but we had hot meals brought out to us (potato wedges, corn, chicken and steak) and then we had minimal security while we did some skits making fun of people in the platoon and then after it got dark we shot off flares, hand held star clusters and 40mm star clusters...it was pretty cool to have fire works using real weapon systems!"
Thankful this July for all the soldiers in 2nd platoon, Combat Company, 1-32 Infantry, 3rd Brigade who continue to aid the Afghan National Army in fighting for their freedom from the horrific acts of the Taliban.
