December 31, 2007 Jurf Town Hall Groundbreaking Ceremony In the early afternoon hours of December 31st 2007, key coalition as well as Iraqi leaders met to begin construction on a town hall facility for the Jurf as Sakhr community. LTC Timothy Newsome, commander of 3-7 IN Battalion, and CPT Eric Tisland, commander of Able Company, 3-7 IN BN met with Sheik Sabah, the mayor of Jurf as Sakhr in order to mark the occasion and review key projects in the area. In its first 60 days in sector, Able Company has forged strong relationships with Sheik Sabah and his fellow leaders such as Youssef Swife, a skilled contractor and Sheik of the neighboring town of Sadat just south of Jurf as Sakhr. CPT Tisland has held frequent meetings with these local leaders in order to develop the governmental and economic capacity of the region now that security is established. The groundbreaking of the town hall is an important step as it signifies the cooperation that is taking place between Coalition Forces and the local populace under Sheik Sabah. It also shows the amount of commitment that 3-7 IN BN has to the people of Jurf as Sakhr and how it will continue to work for the people in order to build a stronger and more peaceful community in Jurf as Sakhr. The soldiers of Able Company will work with the Iraqi Army, Iraqi Police, and Concerned Citizens to ensure the security of the new site and to keep the families of Jurf as Sakhr safe and secure.

| 4 Jun 2007 | Michael Yon , a Freelance Journalist has been embedded with TF 2-7 and his latest on-line entry details the arrest made by LTC Crissman, TF Commander, of the police Chief for corruption. This is a great piece on the Task Force and what they do every day and how fluid and rapidly changing the situation. The remarkable fact that this was all done with no shots fired and no one injured also speaks volumes on the courage and training of today's Soldiers. |
