You certainly know how to make a grandmother cry!!! Thank you for that beautiful tribute! I'm not sure if it was the words or the photo!

God Bless those brave Iraqis and our troops!

Wow!

Go back, click the link, and turn up the speakers.

You may want to get a hanky.

Whenever I'm singing "America the Beautiful" and come to that verse, I always have to stop because I get fahklempt.

You know, I've never actually cried while reading a thread on FR... but your post did it! That verse of "America the Beautiful" was perfect. God bless our soldiers, and God bless Iraq as they begin a new page of their history.

Thanks everyone for posting these wonderful pictures that we'll never see from Dan Rather!
