Civil affairs team aims to promote stability in Djibouti By Monte Morin, Stars and Stripes DJIBOUTI CITY, Djibouti — On the sun-blasted streets of this ramshackle port city, where narcotic “khat” leaves are sold by the bale and homeless families camp in back alleys, U.S. Army Capt. Jason Fleming and his civil affairs team stand out like sore thumbs in their pixelated combat uniforms. But standing out in public, Fleming said, is what his job is all about. Unit remembers dedicated soldier who was killed just before his son's birth By Lisa Burgess, Stars and Stripes FORWARD OPERATING BASE LOYALTY, Baghdad — On Saturday night, Sgt. John Michael Sullivan should have been busy packing his rucksack, getting ready to see his wife and newborn son back in the States. Instead, Sullivan, 22, was already home. His body arrived in his hometown of Hixon, Tenn., on Friday, according to KKTV 11, a local news channel. He was killed on Dec. 30 while on a mission with his platoon in Baghdad. Back in Colorado Springs, the news of his death sent his wife, Michele, into labor the same night.
