Hi,
I wanted you to know that we are conducting interviews via radio from here. We have seen so much that the media will never show. We are so very proud of being here and seeing some of our troops. I wanted you to know how grateful these people are to our troops and how much they fear we will leave and undo all of the good that has been done here. We have been treated like family here. Tears fill their eyes when they hear that our visit will be short. Words can't describe their gratatude to President Bush and our troops.

Thanks so much. I actually need to hear this once in a while. My son is in Baghdad so we hear more about negative news.
