US Naval Seabees' Camp Knott, Fallujah

T-Shirts for Troops sent over 200 shirts to the US Naval Seabees. The shirts were distributed to NMCB 28, Delta Detachment Camp Knott, Fallujah, Iraq.

The Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 28's route repair team work nights to repair holes caused by IED's in main supply routes of the Al Anbar Province of Iraq. Approximately 60 miles of road are repaired regularly by NMCB 28's MSR/ASR repair teams.

The holes are filled with buckets of Pave Mend; a quick drying concrete patch mixed on site and marked with stamps and spray paint so that military and coalition forces traveling the route recognize the repairs as legitimate.

NMCB 28's team continues to help keep the roads safe for military forces and civilians.

Lt. Commander Chaplin Ron Cooley, currently serving at Camp Fallujah, generously distributed the t-shirts. Chaplain Cooley wrote in an email:

While all 200 shirts were distributed
the Seabees' work schedule
has most of the Company working projects

throughout Al Anbar province day and night,
however
these Seabees wanted you to know
how much they appreciated your thoughtfulness
in providing the T-shirts
and
your organization's support.

One of our First Class Petty Officer
asked me to pass along her appreciation:

To FMBA (New Jersey Firefighters),
I wanted to say
"Thank You"

for taking the time to design,
print and distribute these
awesome looking t-shirts.
I will proudly wear my FMBA t-shirt.
Thanks again
for your time, effort and dedication
in support of the Seabees.

Ooh Rah!!
