During the final phase of Operation Bulldog Bite in the mountains above the Pech River Valley in eastern Afghanistan’s Kunar Province, three children look on inquisitively as soldiers secure their village Nov. 23. The children were shy at first, but later opened up after they were handed food from soldiers assigned to Company B, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, Task Force Bulldog, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.
