Arrived at the Port of Dammam, Saudi Arabia, November of 1990 from Germany, after "Merry Christmas" George decided the "coalition" needed an offensive threat to kick Saddam out of Kuwait. We were put out on a manmade peninsula/port to wait for our tracks and trucks. We were immediately put to work putting up hundreds of GP medium tents to house the rest of VII Corps from Germany and the 1st Infantry Division from Ft Riley Kansas. Every single one of the crates holding a tent kit had a shipping label that showed it was shipped from an air force base in the states to Saudi Arabia in March of 1990. Saddam didn't invade Kuwait until August 2nd, 1990, four and a half months AFTER all the tents were shipped? Things that make you go Hmmm....
