Everyday was a busy day with a line of people waiting. The goal was to see 300 people a day.
Everywhere they went, the El Salvadorian army with their guns went.
Music and food by the water. A time for rest and relaxation after 2 weeks of work.
Rene's guard..
Rene's home away from home. The bathroom was about .25 of a mile down. Not a good thing for Rene.
Some shopping time in town.
As always Rene returned back to us safe and sound. His pictures tell an interesting story of how our troops come together to help others. This is the most rewarding part of Rene's job, only this time he was mostly involved with helping to bring the mission together. Yes, the go-to-guy for all the problems that came up. Their equipment was never released from customs, so coming up with a quick plan was vital. The mission had to be done no mater what. So many dentists were on the way. In the end, he was awarded with an army coin for doing such a good job. No nice dental office furniture or air-conditioning. here.

As a non-military civilian, this is the part of the military which I wish more people would get to see. It is really unfortunate that the media does not emphasize all the humanitarian missions that go on.
