"Currahee"

Those of you like me who have spent any time in the Toccoa, GA area are familiar with Mt. Currahee. Currahee is Cherokee for "stands alone" and aptly describes the small mountain that goes by the name. What I just learned while browsing through some photos on Michael Fumento's website is that the name has been adopted by someone else--the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division stationed in Iraq! Note this sign at their headquarters:


I also saw this photo which actually made me feel good about the USPS for a moment--an Iraqi girl with a US-provided care package in a Priority Mail box!



Mr. Fumento has a slideshow of 250 photos from his trip to Iraq earlier this year. You can read his Weekly Standard cover story "The New Band of Brothers" here. Check them out!
