Gary got to spend 117 days in sunny downtown Baghdad in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

I spent the first two months at AFN-Iraq helping out the maintenance guys at the Radio and TV studios. The second two months was spent out at the airport at Camp Victory setting up satellite dishes and coordinating tower installs so more folks could get American Forces Network radio and TV.
