Pfc. Jeremiah Johnson, from Buffalo, N.Y., Company A, 1-15th Infantry Regiment, pulls security during a market assessment in Salman Pak Dec. 23. "Salman Pak is a really beautiful place," said Staff Sgt. Robert Butler, from Excelsior Springs, Mo., the platoon sergeant for headquarters platoon, 1-15th Inf. Regt. "You look at the Arch (the Arch of Ctesiphon, one of the largest and oldest freestanding arches in the world), the mosque, and some of the houses there and you see so much potential. I hope that the progress we are making now will help that potential become a reality after we have left. This place deserves it after what it's been through. In 10 years, I want to be able to say that I was there when Salman Pak turned the corner. I'll be proud to say I was a part of that."
