Vet shares Desert Storm tales with Ist graders at school
Persian Gulf War veteran Sgt. John Elam spoke to about 20 first graders at South Frederick Elementary. He described duty with the 352nd Civil Affairs unit, stationed in Riverdale, coordinating relief in Kuwait and Iraq, and aiding Kuwaiti animals. He recalled 31 Scud attacks and living in a Ministry of Education warehouse. Elam displayed flags, a Kuwaiti dinar note, and a map, and thanked Rep. Beverly Byron for support. He plans another visit to see his daughters Jennifer and Katherine.
