Seven Iraqi merchants put their new prosthetic hands across their hearts May 27 while laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in honor of U.S. service members killed in Iraq.
Army Spc. Patrick Moran, an "Old Guard" soldier from the 3rd U.S. Infantry, helps members of the Iraqi delegation lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery on May 27 to honor U.S. service members killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Proudly displaying their new prosthetic hands that replace those amputated by Saddam Hussein are, from left, Laith Agar, Hassan Al Gearawy, Qasim Kadhim, Salah Zinad, Basim Al Fadhly, Nazaar Jondi, and Alaa Hassan.

One wonders what they thought of lush, verdant Virgina in the Spring. Must seem like another world to them.

Thank you for this post. I appreciate getting to see the pictures.
It also makes me so angry that the jerks at the alphabet new won't report this news for the world to see. They are nothing short of pond scum.

OMG, I have tears in my eyes. What a beautiful story.
I loved this line: "Hopefully Allah will replace my hand with an even better one."
Little by little, with progress like this, perhaps people in the Middle East will realize that God does not want people to kill each other in His name.

What an amazing story! THIS is the kind of thing that could change the hearts and minds of Muslims. Let's hope they spread the word when they get back to Iraq! God Bless those who gave their lives for America. I'm so proud to live in the greatest nation in the world.

I'm sure that they're just waiting until they can meet them in person, putting a face to the story because they care so much about the Iraqi people and the advancement of freedom.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
