I know that I am not as eloquent or as experienced as the others with whom I had the opportunity to meet and stay with on our trip. I apologize for my lack of skills to tell you all that I saw and learned. These stories are my simple explanations of the many miracles I saw while in Iraq. I have yet to fully describe the orphanage, supported by the soldiers and gifts from America, or my wifes insistance upon seeing the photos of the children in the orphanage that we adopt one of the children and bring her home.

My heart is for the humanitarian effort and the sincere hope that all of America will help these Iraqi people to know the freedom and opportunity we all enjoy in our society.

Thank God I was born in America with the freedom to present my point of view.

Excellent report, Brad!

Nice to hear news from the troops and the Iraqis from down on the ground, the good and the bad (but especially the good), and not from some MSM teletubby parroting his lines from a hotel balcony.

Great report, are you publishing this story in a book or magazine?

Did you get Video of any of this?

I saw a similar report on a rental DVD at Blockbuster, but it had its Liberal slant.

We need more information and reports like this from the front.

(Recent polling of Iraqis indicates that 82% believe that things are getting better in Iraq and that they have a better future).

When did we ever hear this from the MSM?
