Christmas in Iraq

Dec-21-2008 » Filed Under: 2/25 SBCT

The Honolulu Advertiser has a nice story about helping the 2/25 SBCT celebrate its second Christmas in Iraq.

The "Warriors" of the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team at least are trying to get into the spirit on what is their second Christmas away from family for this deployment.

At Camp Taji just north of Baghdad, a live pine tree arrived from Tennessee.

A group of women who call themselves "Moms on a Mission" from Marshal County, Tenn., purchased the tree, wrapped it up and express-mailed the gift to Iraq on Nov. 29.

After 11 days of travel it arrived, bringing a still-piney smell with it.
