Mardi Gras in Iraq you say?  That's right, who better to pull it off than a bunch of cajuns from the Louisiana National Guard!  We had a parade and everyone was out there to watch the floats, catch beads, and have a good time...just another event that made soldiers feel more at home.  We were even given the opportunity to drink a couple of beers, yes real beer...courtesy of the great folks at Budweiser!  The photos are a combination of the parade and the beer drinking in the DFAC afterwards.
