Got up there Tuesday morning and left around 3:00 that afternoon.  They (U.S.Army and four Marines) had already unloaded the ship and were convoying vehicles up to PTA for training.
They were very surprised that I was there - and very appreciative of all of the soft drinks and water.

You'll notice a bit of a change in my set up.  Before they would rummage through the ice chests I had marked "Cold Sodas" to find their favorites.  As you can see, I put pictures of the various soft drinks I bought up on each of the ice chests so they could see exactly where their favorite drinks were.  A lot of time they are in a hurry so thought I would simplify things and speed it up for them.  Sorry didn't get better pictures of the troops but kind of hard to talk to them and take a picture at the same time since I'm the only one there this time
























Please e-mail Paul at wpkona@yahoo.com  if you can't find a particular picture or you need a hi-rez jpg.
