I watched a local welder in Tikrit wear those safety sandals while working on our on gate we pulled guard duty. He kept burning his feet & couldn't understand why.

My Son has Dreams of flying to Europe, buying a 25 years old collectible car, driving it around Europe for a couple weeks, shipping it home and selling it to pay for his Vacation.
