HW #31

A song that reminds me of a time or place is "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley. I remember this song because one of the people — his name was Jassim — I worked with in Iraq used to play a Bob Marley tape whenever we were in his car. One day we were driving to a city called Falluja and there was a lot of fighting going on. We came to an American army checkpoint and the soldiers who stopped our car and searched it did not want to let us continue. We began talking to them, and when they heard that our driver was playing Bob Marley, the soldiers started to relax. They let us through the checkpoint.
