2nd BCT Media Links

This blog centralized media links for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division during its deployment from Korea to Iraq as part of OIF 2.5, Aug 2004 - July 2005. It was updated daily over the year, with only sporadic updates since. It is left on-line for historical interest (although many links are likely now broken) and as a tribute to the 2nd BCT servicemen who lost their lives serving in Iraq. May they rest in peace and may their legacy be forever remembered.

Contribute a link

If you have found a unique link that you would like to contribute, or have corrections or feedback, e-mail me and I will update the blog. I will not post any forwarded first-hand accounts (soldiers e-mails, discussion group postings, etc) that were not meant for public consumption. Also, I won't post anything that has a very clear political or social bias.

Mail me here: rkirk@gis.umn.edu

For reference, I track down most of the links I've found through these search engines:
- Google News
- Yahoo News
- www.technorati.com blog search engine
- www.blogpulse.com blog search engine
- www.blogsearchengine.com

I've found many of the groups, support and picture sites through advanced Google or Yahoo searches. A good tool for complex Google searches is at www.faganfinder.com

    Quite a trip down memory lane, I had the dubious honor of being with the 1/503rd inf unit which became 1/9 inf unit later in Ft.Carson. Quite a rough period of many peoples lives, thanks for helping piece together things that escaped my view as a low level support soldier.
