"After 35 years of cruel tyranny, Iraq is free at last. This freedom and Iraq’s sovereign status would not be possible without the contributions of brave soldiers such as yourselves. Freedom is not free and you are up to the challenge.”

Maj. Gen. Batiste concluded with the announcement that 198 of the graduating soldiers would join the ranks of the 202nd Iraqi National Guard battalion to fight enemy forces in Samarra.
