Submitted by Maj. Tim Brooks, 213th ASG, LSA Anaconda, Iraq.Lest We Forget. I wanted to take a picture of the base sign at Camp Buehring and find out for whom the camp was named. I noticed my reflection when taking a picture. I thought it was ironic seeing my reflection in a picture at the beginning of my second mobilization in the war on terror.
