This cache is on an American Military FOB in Mosul, Iraq.
This cache was placed with a vantage point overlooking Mosul and the Tigris River Valley. If you look ENE from the cache location, you can see the roof of the former MICO TOC (BLDG 109), with holes caused by two direct hits from 60mm mortars in July (there were no injuries, or significant damage to equipment in the attack...just alot of rattled nerves). The cache is in a 5x9x3 tan Rubbermaid container. It contains:a hand mirror; 2x packs playing cards; red plastic kazoo; lip balm; pack of AA batteries; "Ranger Digest, Vol I;" "Kiss Me I'm Irish" button; Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) awareness card; $5 "Panasoanic" (note the spelling) world band radio (local purchase); US Flag zipper pull; Lays potato chip spinning top; "Words of Martin Luther King" book; 2x US Army Warrant Officer "Eagle Rising" branch patches; CD - Noogie "Learning to Swim;" ATT phone card - 100 units. The cache is well hidden, and should be sheltered from the elements. MGRS coordinate: //38S LF 31837 28817//. This cache is dedicated to the memory of PV2 Bradlee Coleman, HHC, 3-2 SBCT.
