Thursday, April 3, 2003, Medical battallion Chief Hospital Corpsman David Jones from New York, serving with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, holds a newborn Iraqi baby in the town of Nassiriya April 2. Doctors supporting U.S. Marine combat operations in Iraq had to brush up their child delivery skills when a young Iraqi woman, Jamila Katham, was brought to their base and gave birth to a six-pound baby girl, U.S. Marine surgeons said. The baby, Katham's first child, has been named Rogenia. The mother and child, both said to be doing well, were given food, water and bandages and were later driven home in a U.S. military ambulance.
