U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Anne Vasquez, from College Station, Texas, receives some camel meat during a traditional Arabic dinner a Qatar general's beach home, April 20. The Qatar armed forces chief of staff invited over 400 service members to enjoy beach activities, water crafts, falcon exhibitions, camel rides, all-terrain vehicles and Arabic cuisine. Most of the service members were participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program at Camp As Sayliyah, a U.S. military installation in Qatar. Since its inception in 2004, the program has provided over 155,000 war fighters, serving in Southwest Asia, a brief respite from combat operations.
