I recently received a e-mail from SSG Kevin Doheny, 159th CBT AVN BDE PAO, 101st ABN DIV (AASLT), LSA Anaconda, Balad, Iraq

He has offered some very nice photos of our troops and thier helicopters in Iraq.

Below is SSG Doheny's description of the photos that he has sent for us to enjoy. I would really like to hear any comments or feedback on these. I can be reached by using the email link on the home page. I hope you enjoy them.
