They own/operate EVERYTHING here. Everything. Blast walls, porta-potties, dining facilities (DFAC), bathroom/shower units (Cadillacs), personnel, trucks... etc etc. Endless.
Today was a sobering day. We walked around the hospital wards and played acoustically for wounded Americans, Iraqi police, and Iraqi civilians. On our very first stop, we encountered soldiers with signature injuries- amputees and head trauma. We actually felt as though we lifted spirits where we could- be it injured troops or the staff that work long hours treating the wounded. The hospitals at Balad are incredibly busy but the staff is very upbeat and a positive bunch- I truly admire everyone I met today.
Stay tuned for more details as time permits!
