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.

Seth Robson of the Stars & Stripes reports that www.beerforsoldiers.com has been ordered to stop accepting donations. Apparently, "Federal regulations make it illegal for federal employees, including soldiers, to solicit or receive gifts." Sgt. Dale Rogers, the founder, has turned the site over to his brother as the new webmaster and removed the donation option on the web-page. However, it appears Sgt. Rogers' blog and possibly the pictures will continue to be updated on occasion.
