Take a look at these heartwarming pictures from Iraq. I think these pictures manage to capture the essence of what it means to be an American.
There are no words to express everything conveyed by this photo. To me, it represents the highest ideals of our country and our guys, and the hopes and aspirations of the Iraqi people.
This is why we fight.
