BAGHDADI, Iraq (May 27, 2008) â?? Pfc. John Z. Wilson and Lance Cpl. Joshua S. Hardin, metal workers with Maintenance Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 6, 1st Marine Logistics Group, were two Marine welders that worked on the Baghdadi Bridge. Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Iraqis worked together to complete the 301-meter bridge May 22, making it the longest floating bridge in Iraq, said Capt. Douglas R. Cunningham, company commander for Maintenance Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 6, 1st Marine Logistics Group. This bridge will reduce the six-hour convoy it would normally take to reach the other side. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Robert C. Medina)
