Chiefs fan Ben Johnson contacted me recently with some pictures of his buddy, Lieutenant Colonel Eric Bass of the United States Air Force, posing with the Stars & Stripes and the Chiefs flag in Iraq.

Below is the message Lieutenant Colonel Bass sent to his friend in the states:

Classmates and Chiefs Fans,
Hey, here’s a picture of the KC Red and Gold flying over Iraq! Let’s get pumped up for the 2006 season it’s going to be special!

God Bless Eric and all of our soldiers. GO CHIEFS!
