Took some pics of my Iraqi helmet that show the medallion and such. Since there seemed to be some interest I thought I would post them.
Here is the medallion on the right side. The lettering is supposedly read right to left. I am not sure on that part, but that is what my brother told me the interpreters said.
It is still kind of cool, yet creepy. When you realized that it was worn by Saddam’s death squads. He was one weird dude!! At some point I will have my parents copy all his pics to CD and send them to me. He was a vehicle commander on an LAV in recon.
