Hospital Walls from Iraq

Dayton, Ohio -- These walls came from the “Warrior’s Lounge” at the US Air Force Contingency Aeromedical Staging Facility (CASF) at Balad’s Air Force Theater Hospital in Iraq. Patients and visitors were encouraged to sign the walls as an informal way to display unit pride, remember friends, or just say “thank you.” The messages pay tribute to patients and medical staff who served in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. The walls are on display in the Cold War Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo by Ken LaRock)
