Representative Chris Gibson ( center) and retired New York Army National Guard Lt. Col. Paul Fanning (right)) listen as New York Army National Guard Col. Jamie Green talks about his service in Iraq during a "Tales from the Sandbox" discussion session hosted at the New York State Military Museum on Saturday, March 24. Sixty people attended the event, hosted by the Friends of the New York State Military Museum. Gibson, a retired Army Colonel, also served in Iraq. Lieutenant Colonel Jamie Green, a dentist from Saratoga Springs commanded the Guard’s 466th Area Support Medical Company in 2006. The 466th operated from three different locations in Iraq and treated the full spectrum of patients – and coalition, insurgents and Iraqi civilians. He spoke about the extraordinary and often creative efforts his team put forth, especially when treating civilians who desperately needed care. Insurgents were usually shocked that they were getting medical treatment alongside forces in his treatment rooms, said Green. Because we were just trying to do the right thing, insurgents often started providing helpful information as a result. (Photo by Wayne Clark, New York State Military Museum)
