(From left to right) Master Gunnery Sgt. Ralph L. Tucker, from Rice, Va.; Staff Sgt. Jeff S. Bias, from Columbus, Ohio; and Petty Officer Second Class Katheryn D. Nuzum, from Stanton, Iowa, enjoy some jazz music and each other's company while shooting craps at Camp Taqaddum, Iraq July 7, 2006. The jazz night's inauguration a few weeks ago filled a niche for Marines who did not attend other recreational activities such as the videogame room, which are geared more towards younger Marines. Jazz night at the recreation center here may not have the same atmosphere found in one of its New York or Chicago counterparts, but it serves its purpose for the Marines, sailors and soldiers stationed at this logistics hub located in the heart of the unpredictable Al Anbar Province.

I'm not a fan of either, but compared to the battlefield, jazz and coffee would hit the spot. God bless our troops.
