Spanish legion soldiers serving in Kabul, Afghanistan, raise the Spanish flag during a ceremony honoring Spanish National Day at the International Security Assistance Force Headquarters, Oct. 13. Nearly 50 Spanish service members along with a number of their international counterparts serving with ISAF throughout Kabul attended the ceremony to remember the day Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas. While they may not have been able to celebrate on Oct. 12, as their compatriots in Spain did, the troops still felt it important to honor the holiday and pay homage to their fallen comrades. Following the ceremony, the ISAF troops enjoyed a feast of Spanish foods, including paella and gazpacho.
