This is a photo of the forward operating base that Jake was stationed at in 2003-2004. The base is the walled in area at the top right of the photo. This photo was taken in 2004 and the vehicles you see parked within the walled in area are the Strykers that our guys drove. One of those Strykers is Jake's.
This next photo is the same exact area taken in 2009. The Strykers have been replaced by what appear to be Humvees. And as you can see there is a lot more activity at the border crossing. Notice the line of trucks on the left waiting to enter Iraq from Syria. Also note the road construction that has taken place in the past few years.
