Start of Air War
We were sitting closer to the Iraq border at a place called Vadelia. I was on the night shift at our CombatSupportHospital and was standing outside taking a break from work when all of a sudden, planes started flying overhead in big groups. We were so far out of the loop, that we didn't even know what was happening. It wasn't until the following morning, when we were able to pull in the BBC, that we heard that the air war had started.
Right after that, we received word that we were moving out. Moved to a spot about 11 km from the Iraqi border. Could see the bomb flashes from the berm at night.
