Our incredible military members! May God Bless them and keep them safe.
| Quote: | How Did You Spend Independence Day?
BAGHDAD – How are you spending your 4th of July holiday? While most Americans probably slept, 1,215 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines raised their right hands and committed to a combined 5,500 years of additional service during the largest reenlistment ceremony in the history of the American military. Beneath a large American flag which dwarfed even the enormous chandelier that Saddam Hussein had built for the Al Faw Palace, members of all services, representing all 50 states took the oath administered by Gen. David Petraeus, Commander of Multi-National Forces Iraq....cont'd and video |

Blessings on them from me and mine too.
Had a lot of family in and said prayers for them several times during the day.
