BAGRAM, Afghanistan Medical Task Force-44 soldiers said good-bye to their coalition partners-in-medicine during a celebration at the Egyptian Forces compound Mar. 23.
The gathering gave soldiers the opportunity to end their 10-month tour in Afghanistan with friends and offered the Egyptian and Korean medical troops the chance to meet the incoming American soldiers who are replacing Task Force-44 troops.
(The Egyptians) help us with mass casualty situations, (and) they help us with treating patients that show up at the front gate....Theres been an interchange of knowledge back and forth - Its just a tremendous relationship that we have.
This (relationship) will extend with the next mission here and I (hope that) these bonds will also fortify with the Arab Republic of Egypt and the United States for the sake of spreading freedom, prosperity and peace, said an Egyptian spokesman. When we unite together, we can fight terrorism.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hearts, minds, lives ~ non-UN-ilateral ping for our Egyptian and Korean allies.
Task Force 44 ~ mission accomplished!

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!
Condescending Kerry to the contrary notwithstanding.
Victory.
