Photo by Jim Spiri, August 19, 2007, Mosul, Iraq...
In this photo, Sgt. Briola, from Guam, is seen during a moment of high intensity. He was the gunner in the rear security vehicle in an area that is extremely hostile. He contantly kept a vigilance and rotated the turret from side to side while anticipating the threat at hand.

Mr. Jim Spiri a big applause goes out to you and your incredibly awesome work. For us the Briola Family it's a great honor to read and see photo's of OUR HERO SGT. Briola and the rest of his Brothers of 2/7 Cav.
May the LORD Bless them all with STRENGTH,COURAGE,FAITH and WISDOM in each other to complete their everyday missions; as we Wives do everyday to hold down the Home Front.
Thank You again Mr. Spiri for your hard work and dedication it really does mean a lot to all the families of 2/7 CAV.
