"I wanted to send you a photo of a couple of us enjoying the snow that fell (Feb. 24) in Mosul, Iraq," said Cpt. Michael J. McCurty of Stryker Brigade Combat Team. "According to the locals, it was the first snow to fall in Mosul in over 10 years."

The soldiers in the photo are members of the I Corps "Task Force Olympia" from Fort Lewis.

"We are contracting officers working at the Mosul Airfield Contracting Center," McCurty said.

The contracting center provides support to over 10,000 soldiers operating in northern Iraq.

There is a great picture for you Washington residents to check out accompanying the story.
