30 years ago today I was sitting on the back of a 155mm Howitzer waiting for the Saddam Hussein to unleash the Mother of All Battles.
We got about 33 kilometers into Iraq and may have shot 50 rounds before we were turned back and told it was over.
Never did see that battle we were promised.

Thank you for your service. You was serving on a M109A Howitzer? If so cool. Thats what I worked on in the US Army reserves. I graduated AIT one week before Thanksgiving in 1990. I was attached to my Father's 3/75 Field Artillery unit at the time. We thought we was going to get called up. But ended up not going to the first Gulf War
