Summary
U.S. Army Maj. Joe Pruiett, from Medon, Tenn., reaches for a hooded falcon while trying on traditional Qatari clothing at Camp As Sayliyah on, Apr. 10. "It's such an amazing bird, you can feel the power," said Pruiett. U.S. troops discovered a deeper understanding of Arab-Islamic life in the Middle East during a two-day cultural event on Apr. 10 and 11.
