The OklahomIraqis League: Born in Baghdad; Resurrected in Oklahoma
The OIL was founded in Baghdad, Iraq by U.S. soldiers from Oklahoma in 2006. Since then, managers have competed during subsequent deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa. It's provided distraction during those tours. And it's provided camaraderie the men have missed when they're States-side, keeping the brothers-in-arms connected over a decade later.

On NPR's Weekend Edition, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay called the Book of OIL the most comprehensive oral history of a single unit's tour of Iraq he'd read. Learn who these men were, why they joined the military, where they were on 9/11, how they found out they were going to Iraq, and what they experienced over the course of a year in the middle of Iraq's sectarian civil war.
