From Your Corner of…Mongolia?!
Patrick McDonald, who is the Assistant to Secretary of State Sam Reed and an Army reserve First Sergeant, is currently in Mongolia as part of his military service. He is spending his yearly Annual Training taking part in the Khan Quest II exercise along with soldiers from 10 other nations who are training for peacekeeping operations. He took this photo of local Mongolian children during a recent horse race outside his base camp about 50 miles from the Capitol of Ulaanbaator. This was the 8-year-old group.
