Photos from SFC Jim Greene

In 2005 some 400 Vermont National Guards men and women were deployed to Iraq as part of Task Force Saber.

Most went to Ramadi, the capital of Al Anbar Province and one of the most dangerous parts of the country at the time.

Now a member of Task Force Saber, Sgt. First Class James Greene of St. Albans, is exhibiting his photographs from that deployment. Among other images, Greene captured the memorial services for a number of comrades who lost their lives.
