TF Summit Soldiers brought a game of soccer to Riyadh, Iraq, June 11, to show the increases in stability and security to the region which was not lost on those attending the match as the remnants of a youth center destroyed by Al Qaeda in Iraq seven months earlier could be seen. "We did not play so much soccer because it was dangerous and we were afraid," Mohammad, 24, a Riyadh Sons of Iraq member pulling security at the event said. "The terrorists blew our youth center up so that we could not meet as a community there and killed many of our people," he said. "The Americans want to bring us together, help us. And they have brought peace and security back to our city. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Margaret C. Nelson, 1BCT, 10th Mtn. Div., PAO)
