"In Sadr City.
There are no words to express everything conveyed by this photo. To me, it represents the highest ideals of our country and our guys, and the hopes and aspirations of the Iraqi people.
This is why we fight.

God bless and protect them all.
I goofed on the date .. it’s supposed to be June 25. Sorry ..
~~Positive PING!
Oh, that’s good. BTT
That’s truly “a picture is worth a thousand words” .. sweet.
BTTT
It is a powerful message...that's why we never see nor hear about it in the MSM
And, because it represents "the highest ideals of our country" certain members of our military forces (they know who they are) need to keep that in mind when interacting with foreigners in their country.
