Max, If you call it "fortunate" to visit 18 different forward operating bases multiple times that tour I'll say I bought a few trinkets. A couple of car tags, bayonets, the usual, but I also came away with two coasters made by Christofle, engraved with the Ba'ath party seal, and two China plates made by Noritake also gilded with the Ba'ath seal. One of my favorite souvenirs is an exploded 25mm shell that was fired air to ground on the highway of death... I just kicked it up out of the sand while my team and I were snooping in the remains of it.
