This was sent to me by my friend in Baghdad.
"I love you, American!" brought tears to my eyes.

This was a great post. Thank you. I have some certain insights as well as to how most (certainly many) Iraqis feel toward Americans. They do not hate us or our Troops.
The Media has been lying about certain things for a long while now. I suppose that will never change.
I will post a link to this thread in the Canteen!

I sure didn't. Kind of embarrassing to have tears in your eyes at work.

"I love you, American!"
So do we! God bless our brave fighting men and women!
To: valleygal
High time to help this soldier out by ridding Fallujah of terrorists and enemies.
To: valleygal
Well, I'll repeat it to our soldiers, "I love you, American" but I would add hero.

Thank you, Radix, for linking it. I wish with all my heart that everyone could hear these stories from our very own soldiers.
I spoke with a teenager this morning about some of these things. She didn't have a clue. Her parents voted for Kerry ( and her uncle is over there)!
I am sending care packages to Iraq and was buying more stuff to send at Target this morning and mentioned what I was doing to the lady checking me out. She said it was wonderful, that she and her husband were retired military. She said several times , "it's so sad over there" I agreed and said, "but there are good things happening, too ", and she replied, "I hope so."
To: Americanwolf
You are so welcome. God bless you and thank you for your service, as well. I just want to go up to people in uniform when I see them in public and thank them!
To: valleygal
Thanks for the post. Great stuff.
I've read stories similar to this and never cease to be amazed with the reality that the MSM just can't bring themselves to share tidbits like this at least once in a while to balance all the negative stuff they broadcast...
How sad.

I saw today that some of it has already started. They showed night pics and it was lit up over Fallujah.
