People take pictures with U.S. soldiers at the Kosciuszko Market Square in Bialystok, Poland, on Tuesday, March 24. The U.S. Army sent armored Stryker vehicles on an 1,100-mile convoy through six European countries to show solidarity with allies. The trek is called a "Dragoon Ride," after the unit's nickname, the Dragoons.
