Operation Iraqi Freedom was the name for the coalition to liberate Iraq in 2003. After the overthrow of Ba'ath Party government and suppression of Saddam Hussien�s forces the U.S. reestablished an embassy compound in Baghdad, Iraq.
This Grouping contains an entire collection of flags from that compound - the U.S. flag as well as a large assortment of unofficial military themed flags used to decorate the barracks and day rooms of the U.S. soldiers.� Of special interest is an â��Enjoy Baghdadâ�� flag which spoofs the traditional â��Enjoy Coca-Colaâ�� logo because it is signed by many of the soldiers and NCOs from the embassy.
The Grouping closes with a flag from the Patriot Guard, a group of veterans and like minded individuals who enjoy riding motorcycles and shield a mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor during military funerals for fallen servicemen.
