CAMP STRIKER — In a city where many residents must use candlelight because they have no power, Soldiers from 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (LI) celebrated Christmas by candlelight in Baghdad.
Soldiers of the 2nd “Commando” Brigade and the local community gathered in the 2nd BCT chapel for a Community Candlelight Service here on Christmas Eve.
The service opened with an invocation, then members of the choir led the congregation in Christmas carols.
“It was encouraging to take a break from everything and gather with the other believers to celebrate Christmas,” said Capt. Scott Carow, a physical therapist and native of Tampa, Fla., serving with the 210th Brigade Support Battalion. Carow, a member of the choir, played the guitar and sang during the service.
