Morale tour - a photo on Flickriver

Morale tour

            Members of the Baltimore Ravens cheerleader squad perform for hundreds of Soldiers and Airmen assigned to Balad Air Base, Iraq, as part of a morale boosting tour in July 2004.

MARCH 09 - It's been almost five years since I took this pic and now I'm on the other side of the war at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. In the nearly three months (my original tour in Iraq...i know ARMY, don't need to say it) in A-stan, we've only had one successful morale tour by special guests due to high demand airlift and poor weather. The one event we attended only had a handful of people because we all have gotten so accustomed to the cancellations that nobody bothers to show up! I felt bad for the performers because they went out of their way to come out to our craphole, but at the same time understood my fellow servicemembers frustrations...
