A picture's meaning can express ten thousand words. A simple statement...it crossed my mind as I viewed some of the latest photos of the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment.
Take a look at this photo...what visual message do you walk away with?
U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Timothy Kees, of 2nd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, crawls out of a hole in the wall of an abandoned shopping center during a presence patrol in the Dora district in Baghdad, Iraq, Dec. 14, 2007. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Adrian Cadiz) www.army.milThe next photos tell an interesting story of those who put eyes in the sky. Huh? You know, those unmanned aerial vehicles that support our warriors. At first glance they look like model airplanes. Take a second look - this is pretty impressive technology. What a responsibility these men and women have who launch, fly and recover these assets. Whatever it takes to keep our soldiers safe. These folks get little attention and notoriety. However, they play a major role in day-to-day operations in Iraq.
Here is a hearty well done to Task Force XII and their marvelous UAV support to all the forces supporting MND-Baghdad - thanks for the support guys!
Let the pictures speak for themselves...what visual message do these express?

Thanks for finding these pictures. Once again it only goes to show us what goes on to keep our soldiers safe. As it is said, "All of the behind the scenes work to make the production successful." I join you in thanking all of the men and women who work so hard to make sure our soldiers have all the information they need when they go out to do their day to day jobs.
