Boogalu DVDs in Iraq

SSG Luis Cruz AKA Salseronegro, Pablo Racheal, Noah, Barranco, Lugo, Cruzito, Leon, Odunator. Known as the Ramadi Rumbero's OEF class of Aug 2005.
My unit, the United States Army 2nd Infantry Division 2-17 Field Artillery Battalion out of Camp Hovey, Korea 20 miles from the DMZ (demilitarized zone-North Korea) was sent to Ramadi a province in the western part of Iraq known as the Sunni Triangle.

It was not easy for us but we hung in there. I then felt like I could build morale by teaching salsa. To make a long story short salsa started and the lessons grew and before you knew it Army, Marines, Air-Force, Navy, civilians and Iraqi nationals were in my class dancing when we could in between the sad and fearful times.

Your Boogalu videos that I had with me were enjoyed by so many people. It would take us away to a place of comfort and happiness. All we talked about was going home and showing what we had learned during our war time in Iraq. In closing I would like to say thanks for your wonderful dance DVD's they helped us get through some tough times.
