Fenway in Iraq

Marines with 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment constructed a mini Fenway Park in Ar Ramadi, Iraq, made out of recycled materials. The back wall has ads Marines can buy and paint themselves, the profits will go to their Marine Corps Ball in November.

I have never been prouder of my country. They even got the Citgo sign in there. Red Sox rock. Click for the full dish.
