to form
THE HALBERT AND RED CIRCLE MEMORIAL LIBRARY
at LSA (Logistical Support Area) Anaconda in Iraq
When Bob Patton and Mickey Dorsey met Lt. Col. Brian McNerney in Germany during the 65th Division's Anniversary
Tour, they told him to let them know if there was anything they could do for the troops. In December 2005, when the Lt.
Colonel realized there were only 50 books for the nearly 30,000 at LSA Anaconda, he called on his friends to
help.
Patterned after an American Library started by some G.I.'s in Passau, Germany after WWII, and named in honor of
the 65th and 71st Divisions, THE HALBERT AND RED CIRCLE MEMORIAL LIBRARY now offers the troops a wealth of reading materials.
