Mardi Gras in Iraq!

I know it’s a couple weeks past Mardi Gras, but my mother just sent me this link to the best Mardi Gras parade ever!
So where was the best MG parade? IRAQ!
Mardi Gras in Iraq you say? That’s right, who better to pull it off than a bunch of cajuns from the Louisiana National Guard! We had a parade and everyone was out there to watch the floats, catch beads, and have a good time…just another event that made soldiers feel more at home. We were even given the opportunity to drink a couple of beers, yes real beer…courtesy of the great folks at Budweiser! The photos are a combination of the parade and the beer drinking in the DFAC afterwards.
You don’t even have to be from Mardi Gras country to love this! I’m ranking this one in my top ten favorite links. :mrgreen:
MANY more photos here. Go on over and it’ll make you smile. Laissez les bontemps roulez!
