PRAYER WARRIOR FIELD *TOUR*!!

In keeping with the celebratory nature of this day, I asked Ragtime Cowgirl if she could recommend some threads which summarize the victories and accomplishments of our troops over the past year. This is what she graciously supplied me with, so put on your hiking boots and pack some trail mix and have your backpacks adjusted for there are some wonderful destinations on our Anniversary Tour! It is entirely up to you what you put in your canteens ;-)!!

Here is a good thread put out by State Dept - CPA two days ago:

..and the second by CENTCOM yesterday:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1100666/posts

- both good summaries of the progress made by our troops last year.

She states that the anniversary threads are at the top of her homepage:

...and that the third one listed is her favorite post of the day.
"This thread tells of a grateful Iraqi-American with family still living in Iraq, who lives and works in America....and the best thank you our troops can receive, imho:"

Also highly recommended are these fine comments from a Brit Ambassador:

Thank you, Rags for gathering together these and so many other wonderful stories and information about our wonderful troops!
