| I've been to the desert before, and I must say, I have been impressed by the Soldiers of C co 44th. Soldiers who are used to the Cold weather and the beautiful forest of Germany. Have shown extraordinay resiliance in adapting to the extreme heat and the hostile desert sand.Soldiers who are normally conducting guard duty, have shown exceptional motivation and preparation for war. | |||||||||||||||

| Don't let this nice vista fool you. The convoy to Bagdad was a very hostile one. We traveled across the desert in extreme hot tempertures. You may think that 100 degrees is hot. Try 115, you feel every ounce of that heat on your face. It would feel some thing like opening an oven in the middle of summer.We didn't have enough cool water to go around so after a while you were drinking bottled water that was hot enough to make coffee. Soldiers drank it. There only other option would be to pass out from dehydration. Still the soldiers of C co 44th signal pressed on across a long desert highway, Cramped in trucks and humvees packed with all the supplies they could carry. Trying to avoid Iraqis who would block the roads trying to get the convoy to stop. |
