against. Sergant Burstell asked junior Danny Krasna (right) to
don his uniform and chemical warfare protective garb to

History Instructor Mr. Adam Dobrick presented a
brilliant analysis of how changes in the United States'

towards Saddam Hussein. It was accompanied by a powerpoint
presentation on the rise and fall of Saddam Hussein.
Rabbi Spodek spoke powerfully about the
sacrifice made by our soldiers and their families. He

have requested such as sunscreen and babywipes.
