JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq -- Rain splattered on the roofs of soldier’s trailers like stones Sunday morning. Huge gray clouds floated through the sky, filtering the sun’s harsh light. The cool air, darkened sky and the smell of rain were a bit ominous.
Flight medic 1st Sgt. Travis Powell, 39, with Oregon’s Charlie Company planned to catch a fight home to Mollala, Ore., to marry his fiancé and enjoy his honeymoon.
Powell headed to the airport with bags in tow only to find out his flight was canceled.
