Abu Ghraib Mural

'I seved as an MP Sgt with 306th MPBN at Abu Ghraib (post scandal) who ran one of the detention camps during the early years of the war. As a Christian, it was always compelling and actually somehow soothing at the same time. It was positioned center of the lineup area where we give roll call before pur 13 hour overnight shift.

I do not know the name of the painter unfortunately, or I would certainly offer it. Maybe if published, this could draw him or her out privately, and thus claim it?'

'In country only a week before we lost Stephen Castner. Charlie Company 1-121st FA retrained to do convoy security based in Kuwait leading all convoys into Iraq. We were the the only unit to travel the entire country of Iraq on our escort missions. I, Sgt. Philip Betzhold ran a squad of 9 of over 100,000 miles throughout Iraq. This barrier was the least we could do in rememberence of who we lost and what we did.'

Cigardez Cigar Club

AP Lightning, Afghanistan

'The T-wall artist is then 1LT Joseph Giralt, the XO of the 659th Engineer Construction Company, photo taken at the mural’s completion in June 2018. Although we were regulars at Cigardez, it’s origins precede our unit. It was a weekly bonfire & cigar meet-up at AP Lightning, Afghanistan, with a large & dedicated following, year round. During our time, it was organized by a US civilian, who received large shipments from Cigars For Warriors & others, as well as generously bought many himself, just to share with troops at Cigardez. It was already an institution when we arrived in January 2018 & was still going strong when we left in July. As the engineers, we were happy to contribute great quantities of scrap lumber for the bonfire, & of course, the talents of our XO when he painted their mural.'

Cigar clubs like Cigardez or Tali-Banned in Afghanistan supported by groups such as Cigars for Warriors provide a welcome respite to troops.
