Hats off to risking your life and serving our Country. And also for being an “ambassador” of the United States.
You and your compatriots reflect the best of America and our friends we are helping know it.
Once people meet an American, they love America. I know, having lived and traveled in Europe and Asia and the subcontinent.
It was said by French political thinker, Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) that “America is great because America is good.”
Thank you for your kind words. The Iraqis I soldiered with certainly appreciated our presence. Rarely did I see any that I was worried if they were at my “six”.
