I wish someone would print a deck of playing cards with the pictures of American heros that have performed exceptionally in Iraq. The Ace of Spades would certainly be the soldier who dragged Saddam out of that hole.
I know that soldiers are typically pretty modest but this would be great for national morale.
We had morale tours of American heros duirng WWII, maybe we can promote the same idea.
