Members of the Polish elite commando team GROM arrive on the beach during an exercise, on the Baltic Sea coast, October 22, 2003. The elite GROM unit was Poland's only active participant during operations for the war in Iraq. Under U.S. command, a GROM unit captured one platform with a second rig taken by U.S. Navy SEALs. Months before a Polish-led international force took control of a zone in postwar Iraq in September, GROM cleared vessels from the port of Umm Qasr and helped secure a dam near Baghdad. Now GROM troops are helping the hunt for Saddam, Poland's top general, Gen. Czeslaw Piatas, revealed in unexpectedly candid comments. REUTERS/Peter Andrews/FEATURE/POLAND-COMMANDOS

Thank you for being there. This is always a sad (but hopeful)day for me. My dad was a multi-decorated Navy Corpman(Peleliu, Okinawa) and suffered all of his life from the injuries he sustained in WW2.My dad was the finest, most honorable man I have ever known. And GOD BLESS all of our veterans!!!!
