good day to you, I just want to ask you if still have a copy of the pictures of this incident? the pictures on the posting are missing, anyway I was hoping if I could ask for a copy of the pictures? I was the commander of the unit (SOU) (that assaulted and recaptured that tower) way back 2000 to 2004. If you could email me the pictures I will appreciate it very much. - delgarvnosis@yahoo.com
