...Rusty Cowden, 38, remembers his own trek in 1967: "We got lost. A bear ate our food, and it rained 11 out of 12 days." But Cowden recalls the trip joyously.

...clear out Iraqi minefields. American artillery firing Copperhead shells, which use a laser-guided homing device, and multiple-rocket launchers would subject Saddam's troops to a murderous hail of ground fire.

The inscriptions are quickly erased, but government authorities know that all the whitewash in the world cannot obliterate the sentiment they express.
