MOSUL, Iraq— School supplies and gifts were given to students by Soldiers of 2nd Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, Iraqi army, when they visited the Al Hathara School and the Al Forsaw Preschool in the Al Zuhur neighborhood of Mosul, Iraq, Nov. 23.
The Marine Military Transition Team 1-3-0, assigned to the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, IA unit assisted with the mission.
"I need hard work every time when you come to school, because I need engineers," said Brig. Gen. Baha'a Hussin, 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, Iraqi army, to the students. "I need doctors in Iraq. We need a future for Iraq and you are our future."
