In this Wednesday, June 8, 2016 photo, Sgt. Ahmed Abdelaziz, 29 of Iraq’s elite counterterrorism forces shows an Islamic State video of his brother’s death, at a battle position on the southern edge of Fallujah, Iraq. Abdelaziz, has been almost continually deployed fighting the Islamic State group ever since the militants overran nearly a third of Iraq in the summer of 2014. Now he’s on the front lines of Fallujah, a city declared “fully liberated” on Sunday, June 26, 2016 by the commander leading the fight against IS. Abdelaziz has with him what he always brings into battle: a photo of his brother. (AP Photo/Maya Alleruzzo)
