Maj Shoviak In Iraq

Engineers...I received a great photo from Maj Shoviak, currently deployed to Iraq, that I thought I'd share. He's deployed to Al Asad AB as a Facility Engineer Team member in support of the Multi-National Corps operations in that AOR. He got time out from his crushing schedule to visit a site holy to members of the three great monothesistic faiths.

I'll let Maj Shoviak pick up the story from here:

I have attached a photo for your viewing enjoyment of me in front of a holy site on Al Asad AB called Abraham’s Oasis. According to local Arab legend, Abraham, the Hebrew Patriarch visited the Oasis at Al Asad on his journey from Ur to Haran. The legend says he stopped at the oasis, drank from the water, and bathed himself. He and his family camped here for a short time before moving on to Haran.
