Description

Description:
Operation Desert Storm Commemorative Pocket Watch.
On January 16, 1991, President George H. W. Bush announced the start of what would be called Operation Desert Storm—a military operation to expel occupying Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which Iraq had invaded and annexed months earlier.
For weeks, a U.S.-led coalition of two dozen nations had positioned more than 900,000 troops in the region, most stationed on the Saudi-Iraq border.
A U.N.-declared deadline for withdrawal passed on January 15, with no action from Iraq, so coalition forces began a five-week bombardment of Iraqi command and control targets from air and sea.
Coalition forces swiftly drove Iraq from Kuwait, advancing into Iraq,
and reaching a cease-fire within 100 hours of the land invasion!
This Commemorative Pocket Watch celebrates those who fought in the
first US post Cold War conflict
for generations to come.
