Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! Today pretty much everyone has the day off unless there is something mission critical that needs to be done. This morning I got up at 0530 and went to UR. We had Catholic mass out there at Abraham's house. On this area there is basically a whole underground city that the local nationals are uncovering. For those of you that don't know, Abraham was the first person to be contacted by God after Adam and Eve. This area near our base is very sacred to many religions other than Catholic. Here are some pictures:

This is the priest (which is also an Army Chaplain) in the far background sits the Ziggurat of UR, in the immediate background, is one of the walls of Abraham's house, the majority of the structure is still underground.

This is a Lieutenant Colonel that played the hymn "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes.
