Drawing a line in the desert
Staff Sgt. Charles Thompson pries up a stripped mounting bolt for a threshold light on the Baghdad International Airport runway May 30 in Iraq. These threshold lights are being installed temporarily to shorten the runway by 3,000 feet so repairs can be made. Sergeant Thompson is a 447th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron electrician.
