On this day 35 years ago, Operation Desert Shield began. In response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, U.S. troops were deployed to the Persian Gulf. This operation laid the foundation for what would become Operation Desert Storm, a turning point in modern military history. 🙌 To the Veterans who answered the call, we honor your courage, your commitment, and your sacrifice. | 8th Theater Sustainment Command
