With vehicles already at the gate, lights from other vehicles in the convoy look like a string of pearls, leading from deep in the Iraqi desert to the border of Kuwait at the Khabari Crossing. In a fitting end to Operation New Dawn, taking place in the morning hours of Dec. 18, 2011, the final crossing of U.S. forces from Iraq took place just after dawn and provided a visible end to one of the longest chapters in U.S. military history. During the 8 years and 9 months spent in Iraq, more than one million U.S. service members took part in myriad missions across Iraq.
