Rebuilding Iraq

As Military troops have been fighting in Iraq, many of us have often thought of the shaken Iraqi families who have been left without their homes, electricity, running water, food, healthcare and other basic necessities. How are they to restore their land and community and see hope for their future? It’s a thought that we can barely begin to understand, and hopefully something that we will never have to experience for ourselves. The good news is there are Civil Affairs Groups that have been set up to help the Iraqi people get back their community, develop more stable and secure living conditions, and give hope of a bright future.

In this episode of AAR, we meet 2 courageous marines from one of these Civil Affairs groups who were dedicated to making a difference during their time there--Sergeant Major Elaine Stem & Master Sergeant Nelson Rhone United States Marine Corps Reserve who were attached to the 4th Civil Affairs Group when the unit was activated for “Operation Iraqi Freedom.”
