Stars and Stripes reporter James Warden photographs the game of checkers between Lt. Col. Christopher Vanek, commander, 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regt., and Hawijah's Sons of Iraq contractor Khalaf Ibrahim Ali, in a downtown market recently. "It's a statement to the enemy, the peace loving people of Hawijah, and to the provincial government--that enduring security gains have been established, representative government is working well, ISF is responsible for security, the economy is booming, and it is time for the provincial government to step forward and serve all districts," Vanek said.
