1st Lt. Jessica Burton, of the 2/664 Ordnance Detachment from Fort Hood, Texas, attached to 620th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 10th Sustainment Brigade, watches as one of the Iraqi Boy Scouts and Girl Guides place a hand print on the wall of one of the rooms in the Flintstone Palace. The Iraqi children spent the afternoon learning how to fish and how to put a coat of paint over graffiti to make this local landmark beautiful once again.

An Iraqi Boy Scout and a Soldier prepare a wall to be painted in order to cover up graffiti in a room in the Flintstone Palace. The Flintstone Palace was originally a play area for Saddam Hussein's grandchildren. Hussein had it constructed to mirror the town of Bedrock, from Hanna-Barbera's 'Flintstones' cartoon. The Boy Scouts and Girl Guides were eager to make the place beautiful.

As the children and service members cleaned the paint off their hands and picked up their tools, a small group attached a commemorative plaque to the entryway of the palace. The plaque read "Restoring Iraq one place at a time. Iraqi Boy Scouts and Girl Guides worked to improve this site. Please keep this site beautiful. The future of Iraq thanks you."
