BAGHDAD, Iraq, October 28, 2004: Pfc. Jimmie Frost, Spc. Daniel Buff and Spc. Gary Hiatt with the 89th Military Police Brigade in Baghdad encourages Ahmed, an Iraqi boy who visits with soldiers, to pose like a body builder. Interacting with the kids helps pass the time for soldiers. Many of the kids in the International Zone wear T-shirts given to them by troops.
