SFC Doug McLaughlin, who is married to my wife's cousin, was also in a Civil Affairs unit and was attached to the Marines in Jubail. We managed to get together one evening.

The young woman, whose name I unfortunately don't have, was a Kuwaiti Airlines stewardess who was hidden for a couple of months by her Kuwaiti friends before finally being able to leave Kuwait.
