- A collection of personal pictures taken by veterans during their time in Desert Shield/ Desert Storm (1990-1991). These pictures were acquired from my personal collection and various veteran's social media sites. All rights and privileges belong to them. I served in Desert Storm with the 527th ENGR Bn/ 7th ENGR Bde/ 7th Corps. This video was made on 5/12/2020 and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
I served Oct to April, 1st CAV DIV 1/7 Cav - Forward Observer in suppport of the 1/7 Calvary Scouts.(Bradleys). I lived in a FIST-V coffin for 6 months. It was real. Thank you all for your service and welcome home. I never expected to come back, but here I am. Mi Vida Loca!
Excellent video. I can smell it, taste it and feel it just like it was yesterday. Almost thirty years now.
Thank for your service 🙏 God bless you 🇰🇼🇺🇸💙
Wow these pictures bring back so many memories yeah 30 something years ago dude,i miss my fellow soldiers,i wish i knew how to contact them after all these years.I was in the 101st in fort campbell and was deployed there from september to may pretty much the whole thing,wow,really cool pictures.
@@petersuskawicz8900 usually either Facebook (if you’re into that) or the association. (I know 1st Cav does)
We’re all old guys now, if you can believe that!
Time sure flys. 🫡👍🏻
@@petersuskawicz8900My dad got there in August
@@petersuskawicz8900Dude, how cool! What was the feeling you felt or thought when walking through the desert and seeing dozens of oil wells on fire? I always thought about that, what the soldiers thought and what they imagined...
All thanks, appreciation and respect to our brothers who helped us liberate my country, Kuwait...a Kuwaiti passed through here
Being from Louisiana as well, this brought back memories I could feel and taste and smell...I was 18 years old....1/82 FA 1st CAV Division, 63D Self Propelled Systems Mechanic. AKA 63 Do it all. Retired 26 years later. God bless you brother!
Brought back a LOT of memories. I am still there about 5 days a week.
Good times, great comrades...mission accomplished
Lol..ok “hero” 😂
@@KellyfromMemphis they aren't unfortunately but I see that you like trolling old vets. Probably never served or know what any of our backgrounds are. Bless your heart.
Kelly Kelly Kelly... did you almost join up?
@@johnwood2709 she missed the point. Most of us volunteered to deploy and we had no idea what to expect, the 4th largest Army and battle tested against Iran. Luckily we had great generals that had a plan for this region of the world that knew how to win and didn't care about being woke. And none of us knew what the hell a stress card was. Many of us were career service members and this was but one encounter. She was probably too busy protesting or being offended by historical statues. Kids these days dont respect anything or understand those of us old enough to have family that served in every American conflict and were raised to believe in Duty, Honor and County.
@@curt1803 ain’t that the truth. Been so long, these youngsters don’t know what winning looks like.
God bless Norman for not going with the good old Vietnam 2.0 idea.
The video helps bring back memories.
Camper Van Beethoven you could get if you knew someone, and if you lent "Bossanova" it was going to be awhile until you saw the Pixies again.
We were in the same exact spot (hafar al Batin) we crossed into Iraq from there Was also part of the 7th Corp attached to the 14th MP brigade . We definately trampled some of the same desert Great video thank you!
I was also was in hafar al Batin in 1991 649th MP. Co. from California
@@donsanderson6222Did you participate in Operation Desert Storm? Cool
I was with XVIII Airborne Corps. Thank you for these memories. Weird that i miss this, maybe i just miss my brothers.
They are ALL alive and making up combat stories in their local VFWs
Trust me man, they miss y’all just as much ❤
Was anyone in the 101st out of fort Campbell?
Bush is pretending to laugh at someone's Driftwood story but he's really laughing at that ship hair-cut in front of him (and that anyone would be stupid enough to think he's about to break bad on an MRE--the Establishment doesn't live that way because they are never tactical).
USMC ''Task Force Ripper'' Hey Chad, I live on the Westbank of New Orleans '' Gretna'' Thank You for the Video. Can't believe it's been 30yrs. i was 19yrs then.
Worked with a guy named "Aziz" at Two Men and A Truck which we changed to "Asis," on behalf of his epic comment and approach to hard work which was "Stick a fork in me because I am done."
Thank you The great United States . From kuwait 🇰🇼🇺🇸
HOOAH! Thank you for posting. FIRST TEAM!
God bless you 🙏 sir 🇺🇸🇰🇼
O.J. could have replaced Saddam, no problem--which bitch to smack first would have probably taken-up the Honorable O.J. Peace Be With You's entire day.
A trp 1/4 cav....lots of memories from this video thank you
Dang I was with A troop 1/4 CAV NBC RECON 88-90 Booblingen. then went to Kelley Barracks.. CORPS HQ NBC HQ.
bearing down across the Desert at 0 dark thirty, from that day on it was go time, no sleep no stopping, push until it was over. I remember not seeing my hand in front of my face in the oil fields at 1300 it was so dark. We never stopped until we hit the Kuwait Airport in Kuwait City. 5 days of Move shoot communicate and no sleep, 120 hours of no sleep. Of all the crap we saw and did, I remember how awful it was to not sleep for 5 days. We landed at Jubail 3 days after the president got the call for help from Kuwait, after 2 weeks in country we moved ahead and stayed in the field for 10 months.
WHAT A STORY..... AMAZING! What was going through his head at the time? What were you thinking? Do you miss that time? Stories make me more impressed. Thanks for your service :)
Did you know a guy named Paul feldman?
Cool vid! Lots of memories there. Served in the 1st Armored Division. We deployed out of Bamberg Germany.
2/2 ACR. I'll never forget getting in and out of MOPP so many times that it was like a new PT excercise.
2 ACR. Did you happen to roll through a US roadblock going towards Nasiriyah?
and as I watch this... I feel the urge to get a shawarma.... we were natty guard and did just about everything over there... probably saw you when you went home... 229thMPCO,... we did patrol and other MP enforcement ... we patrolled the cat routes...corvette was the long run for us...also had some units in tent city... not far from Kuwait... My lt and I decided to " escort : an engineer unit that we were stayin with back to Kuwait.... got to see the highway and the oilfields..... glad you made it home safe.... thanks for what you do
Thank you for posting.
God bless all of you.🤙👍❤️🇺🇲
Cool video Chad. That's me at the end on the captured tank.
I am just now seeing this. Wow, great pictures. Lots of memories flooding back! Great job with the video. 1st Cav - Bradley Gunner, Desert Storm.
Was with 1st Brigade.🤘🏻
I was there...I can still smell the tents, desert, and shit burning ole dark early..
4:06 is why we are forbidden to donate blood, unless you guys forgot that directive.
I did forget about that to be honest.
me too but they we’re paying $900 for anthrax vaccine plasma
Yup, I now have epilepsy which likely came from those damn pills.
If Johnnie Cochran knew about them, O.J. would have been free much faster.
I’m in this video. I’m the soldier standing beside the shit sucker truck. We used to use them as taxis around KFIA. 1/502 101ABN. Great pics
great job guys god bless you💪😎✌️
Nice video,we had to get rid of any recording devices, pics ,letters etc.Taskforce Grizzly USMC was in Kuwait on February 22nd 1991.
We got rid of what was the equivalent of an entire "Toys 'R Us"--we got so many games on the La Moure County that most of it went over the side--we had nowhere to put it all (Sorry!).
We were in the same place to start Hafar Al Batin.
I was there with 887 engr co 326 engr Bn, 101st Abn
Brings back so many memories & yes I can smell the pics as well! Task Force Ripper
Man the EPWs we came to in the Desert were starving. We gave them a few cases of MREs and water. I ask if anyone understood English? A few came up and I showed the MRE’s that had Pork in them. Muslims don’t eat Pork.
Very kind to do that. They were already beaten and starving.
I'm sure they were thrilled to have something to eat, especially without pork! They had already been beaten and demoralized. Mission accomplished, no need to further humiliate them.
Chicken a la King takes the fight out of everyone.
@@alexanderwalle3568 spaghetti, cheese and crackers yum. and that chocolate chip slab bar thing
Thank you Chad, ESSAYONS! C CO 1st Engr Bn 1st ID.
C company, 4/64 Armor..We never got to see anyone famous. Just alot of POW's and clearing bunkers
Great pics of history. I remember the media was censored on alot of stuff. Thanks for sharing- SFC RET USA/2ND BDE/3RD ARMORED DIVISION/SPEARHEAD/BATTLE READY
2nd ACR K Troop Deployed out of Amberg Germany, Pond Barracks.
Great job!
15:38 like it was yesterday. 1st Battalion 1st Marines. Weapons platoon. Bravo co. 0331. Go Warpigs.
Thanks man!
The good old days … the warehouse looks like where we slept the first night to get accumulated.@40 seconds in.
Great Video!!
Is their any involuntary extension of service veterans...I missed the cut off date by 6 days. And then I couldn't reinlist because my MOS 0331 field was closed...I got no help. At least I thought the VA would...
That desert looks like fuckin Mars man. If Mars had snakes and camels
It's been a long time since I've seen someone bent over with a pack; I have a boatload of photos myself (K 3/2 was running around in amtracs in Oman which I didn't know at the time until recently was close to Yemen and other dumps the U.S. has no business trying to change).
I am working on a project related to the gulf war Is it okay if I use some of this footage?
Can’t believe my tank crew is in this video 16:52 American War Wolf. Can you tell me who sent this in to you. I am the guy on the turret.
To me it seems like it was yesterday when I was there watching an A10 cut down a fleeing Iraq Army from Kuwait that become Highway of Hell. 12b We Clear The Way
Just a quick question?
Did you ever serve with a John Marion, a marine from N.C?
Does anyone remember all the broken down Mercedes’ Benz’s that were along the highway ? It seems like the cars would break down and they would just leave them there .
Anyone who knows anything about Mercedes knows leaving it there when things go wrong is your best choice.
14:02 Does anyone know who this person is in the photo? I saw somewhere that it was one of the most striking photos of the time. Who is the person in it? Has anyone come to meet him?
Dude hate to say it but 90 % of these pics are in the rear with the gear....running water ,tents, camel rides..really......2 ACR baby
Camel rides.....LMFAO! Thanks for serving and being a grunt. I was only 11 at the time.
Try a camel ride over here, and Disney thinks you're crazy.
Charlie 8th tanks attached to A/1/6 2nd Marine division. We breached three belts of mine fields and kicked the crap out of the Iraqi army!
I kept the chow hall functioning like a well-waffled machine; if too many people were in the chow hall on ship, I would know so would stop the line. Just like that--no arguments, no games, I wasn't there for all that.
What a hero@@alexanderwalle3568

In the name of God our Savior, Jesus, I salute you all! Thank you.

Nice collection. Feel sad for the regular Iraqi army who were sent to unnecessary war and die against a far superior military due to Saddams stubbornness and stupidity....Saddam should have simply found an Arab solution without invading kuwait, or atleast withdraw from kuwait by demanding into damages caused by Kuwaits slant drilling into Iraqs borders which was almost 5 billion usd.
Embrace the suck
Finally, a real post.
Dessert 🍩🍭🧁🍰🍪storm: stories of non-combat
Sorry but that’s not a foot soldier war. Tanks and air power. All that training and no where to use it.
There were several tense weeks at the start of Desert Shield without tanks
I’ll take winning over Vietnam 2.0 style any day
هههههههههه ha ha ha ha 😂
