Little bit of heaven here in Iraq from store in tent
In Iraq Sgt. 1st Class Kevin R. Wong of the 1st Battalion 150th Armor runs a makeshift AAFES shop inside a GP tent at the National Guard Armory in Brushfork. He restocks, fields sales to about 250 soldiers daily, and keeps profits non profit to buy more stock.
