Here's the short story. My daughter has a soldier friend stationed in Iraq. He gave her his address. It's something like:
Pfc. Smith
Camp _________
319th Engineers, Plt 2
Iraq
I actually don't remember any of the particulars and there is additional info in the address which is not pertinent for the giveaway. The Camp, however, is named after a board member's CU handle.
What is the name of the Camp?
Please enter only once. If Ray is still stateside, he may have an advantage; so be it. First correct guess wins. You may edit your answer but the edited time becomes your entry.
Winner will get their choice of a nice Kennedy, Ike, or commemorative proof from my modest collection.
I'll post the actual address tomorrow if someone would like to send a holiday card or letter to a soldier.

Yo Adrian! I thought the camp's name was just too ironic not to post.
This soldier is just one of thousands that might appreciate a card or letter this time of year.
Happy Veteran's Day to all that served. I used to tease my father (Army 1941-1945, D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, 3 Purple Hearts) that if it weren't for the success of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War we'd all be speaking English!
