Tim Funke's first tour of Iraq

Pictures and Stories from Tim Funke's first tour of Iraq.
March 19- May 29, 2003


Timothy allowed me the privilege to read his diary of the Iraq War, events taking place from March 19  May 29, 2003.

The following are excerpts from his diary.  Be warned, some of this information can be upsetting for those not familiar with what actually takes place during wartime.  Although I've left out the "gruesome" accounts of the events he witnessed, I would say that you can read into Tim's accounts to figure out what is really going on.

Everything is word for word, I would only place text in (parentheses) only to clarify tense, abbreviations, etc.  Text in [brackets] is additional information provided by Tim.
