Memorial Day in Iraq for Army 3rd Brigade soldiers
In Baghdad soldiers of the 3rd Brigade 3rd Infantry Division mark Memorial Day far from home amid postwar duty. They recall losses from the war while planning a day off with volleyball, basketball and a farewell Iraqi dinner. Some say the holidaylessness feels like an ongoing reminder of comrades lost and lives disrupted.
