A Touch of Zen at Camp Ramadi

The medics of 3rd Battalion, 157th Field Artillery, Colorado Army National Guard, are continuing to personalize their work area at Camp Ramadi, Iraq. It began as a way to satirize Camp Ramadi's beautification but turned into a daily activity; a Zen garden as a peaceful retreat for all to enjoy. Each day since the garden was created, Soldiers pick up the rake, move the sand to a pattern that suites them and position the rocks. When you walk past the area, it's always worth stopping to see the pattern of the day. Photo by Staff Sgt. Liesl Marelli
