BAGHDAD, Iraq (AFNS) - More than 35 Airmen and Soldiers volunteered to clean up the Victory Over America Palace at Camp Slayer June 5 through 7. The palace, which is one of 70-plus palaces Saddam Hussein built throughout the country, will soon be returned to the Iraqi government. The three-day cleanup effort was coordinated by Staff Sgt. Teresa Pavljuk. "Now that tours are over, I volunteered to open (the palace) up and organized for (Airmen) at Sather Air Base to clean it up," she said. "I'm doing something that is part of history. I'm giving back palaces to Iraq. How many people can actually say they did that while deployed?"
