U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Gerald E. Lang from Saint Cloud, Minn., receives an autograph from Anthony "Airport" Greenup, Harlem Globetrotters professional basketball player, during an exhibition game at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Dec. 6. "I've followed the team since I was in high school," said Lang. "This is my first time seeing them live." Lang is the first general to participate in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program since its inception in 2004. He was enjoying the last day of his four-day respite from duty in Iraq. Greenup and nine other Harlem Globetrotters toured U.S. military installations throughout Southwest Asia, where they met service members, signed autographs and provided an evening show. The Qatar base hosted the team's annual holiday military tour sponsored by Navy Entertainment and Armed Forces Entertainment. Qatar was the fourth stop. This year marks the seventh consecutive year they traveled overseas to show support for deployed troops.
