Thank you for posting this, Allegra. Thank you for your dedication and your service to our country. Be safe. We hold you in our prayers.

Thanks, Allegra, you and your co-workers over these years have made a great and positive difference for Iraq and, consequently, for the world. I am sure that someday the success there will be as recognized as it has been maligned and misdescribed.

I didn’t notice the by-line on this... I often don’t pay attention until the end of a story where it came from.

About a third to halfway through this, I said to myself, ‘Gee... this sounds like it could have been written by Allegra.’ - still I didn’t look.

It was no surprise to find that it HAD been written by you, though it detailed a couple things I hadn’t been aware of before today.

Thank you for your service to our troops, and to the Iraqis, and to our country. I know that you humbly believe that your service is minuscule compared to the troops, and though that may be true, it is an important service.

Please convey again our thanks to those in the military who you come into contact with. They have not been forgotten.

We thank you for your frequent reports. I’m glad you have a job you like and are able to do it.

Five years already? Wow! It doesn’t seem that long we’ve had your posts to enjoy and to keep us informed. Thanks so much for all you’ve done over there, AND for countering the MSM’s lies. :-)

I’m pretty much with you on the elections being so fascinating. It certainly was fascinating to watch on TV and at FR. I bawled like a baby that day, seeing all those purple fingers and beaming faces.

Thanks for the ping, Kathy! I didn’t get to spend much time on FR yesterday and missed this gem.

Congratulations on earning your 5 YEAR pin!

And thank you for supporting our troops, wearing dirty socks by times,dodging shrapnel and being a crack shot with your 9 mm.

I have read your posts for 4 of those five years, and have always found them genuine, and direct ,almost always humorous.

You let us all know what was happening when the MSM libtard socialists wouldn't show the truth.

You let us know that the surge worked WAY before the fact became falsely deniable by the Surrender Monkies of the Islamofascist placating press.

For that FR and America owes you a debt of gratitude.

Thanks again to a genuine American patriot from C7:

Thank you SO much for taking the time to recount these momentous years, and to let us know .. from day one and from the ground up .. just a bit of what it’s been like for volunteer patriots like you.

I’m so lifted in hope, reading your words of progress and improvement, and filled with pride for those like you and our amazing military who birthed these new, hopeful days .. many with their precious lives.

God bless them and their families for their precious gifts, and God bless and protect you and our troops as you remain so faithful and dutiful to freedom’s call for others .. a cause truly greater than yourselves.

You are amazing, Allegra, an amazing role model and fabulous patriot. Thank you .. I’m so proud of you! Just WOW. Keep it up .. you’re a historian now .. keep that going. You sure as heck have a book there, and millions will want to read it.
