    Demetrius Williams, from Tacoma, Wash., waits for David Dalton, from Idaho Falls, Idaho, to check his credentials while passing through an exit control point at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Aug. 22. Islamic officials announced the start of the holy month of Ramadan in Arabia. Muslims, members of the Islamic faith, are fasting during hot daylight hours in compliance with the five pillars of Islam, the framework of Muslim life. "It's good we're respecting the Islamic traditions in Qatar," said Williams, regarding the U.S. military installation policy requiring all outbound personnel wear slacks and long-sleeved shirts during daylight hours. "It's warm, but we do what we have to do."
