Spc. Jabari Jackson and Staff Sgt. Gregory Arnold perform during a Halloween night concert at the Morale, Welfare and Recreation facility in FOB Marez. Jackson is with 511th Military Police Company, Fort Drum, N.Y., and Arnold is with 1st Battalion, 321st Field Artillery Regiment (Airborne), out of Fort Bragg, N.C. They are both members of 'Strong Arm of the South,' a hip hop group formed along with three other Soldiers here in Iraq. Their music is an outlet for dealing with their deployment in Iraq, as well as a way to connect people back home with the Soldiers fighting the war, group members said. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
