Honoring locals who served our country


country in the GULF WAR

GULF WAR
The Gulf War fought in 1991 had two phases, the first was
called Operation Desert Shield which ran from Aug. 2, 1990,
to Jan. 17, 1991 and consisted of operations to the buildup of
troops for the defense of Saudi Arabia and and the second
Operation Desert Storm from Jan. 17, 1991 to Feb. 28, 1991, was
the combat phase. It was a war waged by coalition forces from
35 nations led by the United States against Iraq in response
to Iraq’s invasion and annexation of Kuwait. Iraq had built up
its occupying army in Kuwait to about 300,000 troops. The
potential threat Iraq’s invasion posed to Saudi Arabia, prompted
the United States and its western European NATO allies to rush
troops to Saudi Arabia to deter a possible attack. Egypt and
several other Arab nations joined the anti-Iraq coalition and
contributed forces to the military buildup.
