Operation Desert Storm – A Tribute to Those Who Served


Over the years, the U.S. armed services has proudly answered the call to protect and defend areas outside of our nation. 

One example is Operation Desert Storm, also referred to as the First Gulf War.

On August 8, 1990, the ruler of Iraq, Saddam Hussain, declared Kuwait was now a part of Iraq. The UN took action and declared that Iraq had to remove their forces from Iraq by January 15, 1991 or face military action. On January 17, 1991, the UN military coalition, consisting of 34 countries and led by 698,000 U.S. troops, began the process of driving Hussain’s forces from Kuwait. 100 hours later, the war ended with a ceasefire, as the U.S. led coalition destroyed the Iraq occupation forces and freed Kuwait.
