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.

Articles 7.17.2005

The Olean Times Herald, NY, has an article from a Soldier in the 1-503rd who is a world class runner and continued his training while in Ramadi. In the article, Sgt Joshua Butts describes the challenges of training while serving in Iraq and the effects the war and training have had on him. Sgt. Butts plans to leave the Army, and hopes to run for Tulsa University, with a dream of competing in the 2008 Olympics.

    Sgt Butts has written an excellent insight into Ramadi and how it has changed since 1/503 arrived. He confirms the media folks have their own agenda.
    Well done Sgt.
