A Soldier with 1st Squadron, 32nd Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division shakes hands with an Iraqi Policeman at the local community center in Balad, Iraq. More than 140 fugitives in the Balad area turned themselves in to Iraqi Security Forces here May 22, and many more are expected to come into the fold during the next several weeks. As the security situation in the area improves, more and more former insurgents are making the move to take part in legitimate governmental processes here, including taking part in elections, which are to be held in the fall.
