A large AK-47 bayonet, commemorating past Egyptian military conflicts, sits on the eastern shore of the Suez Canal, and was a photographic favorite of the Marines and sailors of Expeditionary Strike Group 8 as their ships passed through the canal, Nov. 26, 2005. The ESG-8's passage through the Suez, with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) embarked as its landing force, marked its entrance into the Central Command theater of operations.
