Three Tours to Afghanistan - Afghanistan

Afghanistan Travel Blog Photos › entry 1 of 1 › view all entries

I figured that I would put a blog together to show some of my pictures from Afghanistan since it's a country that most have never been too. A majority of the pictures are from OEF IV, and also a few from OEF X. I'm currently serving my last tour in OEF XII but do not have any pictures from this trip.
