   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   With two tours in Iraq in ‘90-91 the 82nd Airborne as a Ranger, we crossed over the western border towards Kufa... The fondest thing in my memory is seeing the sights of Iraq with my good buddies... there’s no doubt when you were in this part of the world you feel the danger, but you also feel the excitement… It is not for everyone but I suspect it is for whoever is reading this review… Enjoy life, go for it, and watch your six!
