![I chose [this] picture because I spent a lot of time here. That was a place for us to, not relax, but to get to know each other. Any pictures I took while we were in Ramadi, which was a bad place for us, bring back a lot of [sad] memories. We took casualties. We had people killed in the area, and we killed people in the area, so everything is a bad reminder of war. War is hard.](img/vets/vet_kennetht_graveyard.jpg)
![I was actually the gunner in this vehicle when the IED went off. No matter what kind of vehicle you're in, an IED, if it's going to blow, it's going to blow, and it will cause damage...

![The big hole to me symbolizes the after-effects of an IED; the crater is what we call them over there. I actually didn't want to go down [that street]. We turned around, because [it was] just a flashback; I thought there might have been [an IED] in there.](img/vets/vet_kennetht_pothole.jpg)
![The trash reminded me of how it was over there, just a bunch of trash all over the road. You never knew what was a bomb. They [insurgents] would put it [an IED] in potato chip bags, Coke cans, stuff that Americans would pick up. They would tell us not to leave a flat tire on the side of the road. We have to take everything with us … [or] the next unit would come through, and think that it's a bomb.](img/vets/vet_kennetht_trash.jpg)
