Cementing Balad, Anaconda hospital in history
BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq -- Staff Sgt. Gabriel Lira, 332nd Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron structures craftsman, loads up lighting fixtures from the old Air Force Theater Hospital emergency room into a crate for shipment to the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Washington, D.C., here, Feb. 29. The tent is slated for exhibition because it is known, by the medical community, as the place where the most American blood was spilled since the Vietnam War. Sergeant Lira is deployed from Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Senior Airman Julianne Showalter)
