As the last of the last approach the Khabari Crossing, the Kuwaiti flag can be seen flying. A welcome site for the members of the convoys making the final departure for U.S. combat forces out of Iraq signaling the end of Operation New Dawn. In a fitting end to Operation New Dawn, taking place in the morning hours of Dec. 18, 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.
