The people of Kirkuk, Diyala, Salah Ad Din and Sulamaniyah will not soon forget.

The Iraqis living in the cities and villages of those north-central provinces will long remember the contributions to their security and stability, to their daily lives, made by the Soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division.

Those Soldiers, in the honored tradition of their Big Red One forebears who fought at St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne, in Sicily and on Normandy beaches and in Vietnam, have added a new chapter of courage, perseverance and devotion to duty to the division’s history as they prepare to leave Iraq.

This essay is absolutely fantastic - it describes the role of our brave troops and how the people they have fought and died for will truly never forget. It is a thing of beauty to read this.
