Tag #9296 - Combat Zone Geocaching

RETIRED -- will not be re-ordered.

Tag was created while stationed in Iraq.  Its design plays upon the general impression that most people have: finding geocaches in a combat zone requires dodging bullets, wearing full "battle-rattle", and tactically leading troops who will cover your back while you make the cache find.  Well, all of that may/may not be true depending on where the cache is hidden...

I can't draw: the silhouettes are actually blacked-out images from pictures of real people, aircraft, and even an ammo can.  That's me in the front, and some pals of mine are the other people in the background.  The helicopters are Blackhawks and the planes are F-16's.

The tag is dedicated to all those who've found a way to geocache in a strange environment like a combat zone, whether inside or outside the wire.  It is also a dedication in honor of the sacrifices that they've made in their service for a higher calling.  Stay safe.  --Coyote Trust --
