The picture above is of soldiers in Iraq celebrating the 4th of July by re-enlisting. Many of them celebrated by becoming naturalized citizens. Hats off to our brave men and women who understand better what is going on in Iraq than our pundits and agenda driven politicians. We thank God that we have a military that fights not only for our safety but for the freedom of those in Iraq also. Such nobility is not recognized often in our strange world. An Army that fights for freedom is a good and virtuous, if not highly unusual thing.Thanks to God for each and every American Soldier.
Speaking for these soldiers in Iraq today, Jesse Jones, Sgt from Olympia, Washington, stationed near Boquaba Iraq: "Today I'm just basically relaxing and refitting, getting ready to go back into the city," he said. "As much as I want to be home, I don't regret being here. This is a good place to celebrate the Fourth of July. Not only are we celebrating independence, we're fighting for independence, too."
