USS Anzio (CG-68) 2003 Cruise Sweatshirt

When Operation Iraqi Freedom began on March 20, 2003, USS Anzio (CG-68) stood watch as history turned. Her Aegis Combat System guarded the skies as Tomahawk missiles arced toward Baghdad, and her crew bore witness to one of the most decisive military campaigns in a generation. Named for the WWII beachhead where Allied forces held through brutal German counterattacks before breaking out across Italy, Anzio carried that legacy of tenacious resolve into a new century. As Saddam Hussein's statue fell in Firdos Square on April 9, 2003, the crew of this guided-missile cruiser knew they had been part of something historic.
