Operation Desert Storm

Being Memorial Day, I thought it fitting that I post a mug having to do with the Military.  This full 3 sided mug was created for soldiers stationed in the middle east during Operation Desert Storm.  On the main side of the mug are the words "OPERATION DESERT STORM."
On the opposite side of the mug is a drawing of an American Eagle in attack position.  He looks a bit angry, too.  
On the side of the mug opposite the handle, is a map of the middle east including Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.  In the center of the map is a caricature of Saddam Hussein standing on a very small tank. 
When hot liquid is added, the figure of Saddam Hussein fades from the map.  The color change is good though not complete. I'm unsure if the mug was sold to soldiers, sold in retail stores stateside, or given as a freebie of sorts. Regardless, this is a great mug (and perfect for Memorial Day!) 

DESIGN:  Full, 3+ Sided
THERMOCHROMIC: 1 Color
TYPE: History Unknown
