My older brother went over to Iraq when
everything first started going down, and that's
kind of what inspired me to join the National Guard.

AREA ANACONDA, BALAD, Iraq, Dec. 29, 2004 — More than 120 students in the
nearby village of Albu Hassan were treated to gifts delivered by U.S. soldiers
from the 1st Corps Support Command, 301st Signal Company and 353rd Civil Affairs
Command, Dec. 28, according to 1st Corps Support Command and
Logistics Support Area Anaconda officials.
Soldiers distributed school supplies, T-shirts, footballs, beach balls and Frisbees to the students at the al-Salam school, who reacted to the supplies with grins and shouts of joy.
The school, which was opened in June, was built as part of Operation Anaconda Neighborhood, a collaborative effort of the units stationed at Logistics Support Area Anaconda to improve the quality of life in the areas surrounding the logistics support area. Since its inception in January, Operation Anaconda Neighborhood has spent more than $4.2 million to improve schools, medical clinics, roads and water filtration projects in the villages near here.
