Perhaps you could tell him how we responded.
I second that...
Excellence in human endeavor takes many forms. Our return to space is one form. The Iraqi's movement toward democracy, freedom, and personal liberty is another. I can't speak for all, but for myself - I stand in awe and respect of the great strides the Iraqi people have made after so many decades of oppression.
That's a great idea. I have a meeting with him and two of his colleagues tomorrow. they're bidding on a big job we have in Anbar Province.
I'll tell him I shared it with some friends because I was so touched by it and that the response was overwhelming.
I try to do my part in doing everything we can to keep solidifying our newfound friendship with this country.
