Man I was there thru initial invasion, and continued the mission after separation as a contractor, with the initial up-armor of the HMV'S, fielding of MRAP's, fielding and training of the CROWS II systems and so much more.
Lost so many friends and family even left a great part of me thru 10 years of ongoing support to the mission and the war fighter.
It is a bittersweet for sure.
I know this to be true and accurate because I still have folks currently there that have mentioned they are coming home finally.
