U.S. Navy Lt. Pete Bingus Tamminga takes a hardy handshake and a salute from one of the children visiting from the Iraqi National Institute of Handicapped Orphans. Tamminga is a regular U.S. Navy officer assigned to the 304th Civil Affairs Brigade as their infrastructure projects manager, where he acts as a liaison for all economic construction initiatives that the brigade supports. A naval aviator by training, he said spending time with these kids has been one of the highlights in Baghdad this past year. Originally from Bozeman, Mont., and the Lexington Park, Md., area, Tamminga will return to naval aviation at NAS Fallon after his tour in Baghdad is complete. This Army Reserve brigade is predominately composed of Warrior Citizen Soldiers from the Philadelphia area and are part of the U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne), headquartered at Fort Bragg, N.C.
