"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defeneded constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again." ~~Ronald Reagan

Building at Entry Control Point
p1010150.jpg

When we go out to the entry control points (ECPs) to the city, we have to convoy through the city to get there. There is not much at the ECPs and the Marines staying out there really have to rough it. There is not even a porta potty! They have PVC pipes in the ground they use as "Pee Tubes" and a small tent with a box with a hole to place a "wag bag" where they do their other business. Afterwards - they burn it. YUCK

Out Door Sink (water bottles) and vanity

This is where the Marines shave and wash up at one of the Entry Control Points to the City of Fallujah...... Not very luxurious out there huh?
