"The task before you is far from simple...You're going to work long, hard hours in the harshest parts of Iraq. It won't be easy, but then few things worthwhile ever are. … Today is a banner day, for Iraq has taken another step on the road to building a safe and free Iraq." - Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus
