2/6 Update From Iraq

Lieutenant Colonel Scott Aiken, Battalion Commander of Second Battalion, Sixth Marines, sends along this update:

Our sister battalion from the Sixth Marine Regiment is en route back to Camp Lejeune. They have done an outstanding job; we wish them a safe trip home. We hope they have a happy homecoming with their loved ones.
The voters of Iraq are preparing to vote in their constitutional referendum on October 15. Our mission is to provide them a safe security environment so they can vote.

The weather here continues to be warm and dry. Cooling spell is occurring with high eighties. The country continues to observe the Islamic tradition of Ramadan.

Greetings: I proudly served in 2/6 in the late 70's. I am now on Active Duty with the Army National Guard, and participated in OIF I. I recently learned that 2/6 is back in the box - I would love to correspond with our Marines there, especially but not exclusively Rhode Island natives. email: james.n.williams1@us.army.mil
Be safe!
