"Here is a picture of my husband PFC Ben Duhe and myself Kyla. My husband is currently serving in Iraq and thanks to George Bush he is making this world and this country a much safer place and giving freedom to a country that has never known it. Please add our photo to your gallery. We look forward to another great four years."

"You can see the children are giving thumbs up and one child is opening his school book to show the camera. This is just neat to see and I wish the media would show the Iraqi support for our troops".

The attached (2 below here) photos are of my husband, Sgt. Stephen Mich and a few Iraqi children from Baghdad. Steve serves with the 1139th Missouri Army National Guard and was deployed in Baghdad, Iraq for 11 months. His duties included training Iraqi Police and patrolling the streets of Baghdad with the Iraqi Police.

He returned home to US in February with a purple heart (for being ran down at a check point), 2 Army Achievement Awards (one with Valor), nominated for a Bronze Star with Valor and tons of other miscellanea army awards.

This is a picture that was sent to me via my brother Ken Holmes who was a MP in Mosul - when I saw this it made me proud that not only was he my brother but that he was an American soldier fighting for our values and the right for others to be free.

Here is a picture of 3rd Platoon, Bravo Company, 4th Assault Amphibian Battalion in BaghdadImage




Once the soldiers assigned to one of the medical platoons of the First Armored Division completed the school house rebuilding, the Iraqi children posed for a photo to express their joy and appreciation. The troops represent our country in the highest professional manner. Since the war began, thousands of children have been named George W Bush. The Iraqis and the American troops Love and respect us, and our President.

Keep them coming Kelly. We need to get the word out and show just how left the media is in their reporting.

Glenn, I served as the Judge Advocate for a Field Artillery Brigade last spring/summer. Our Brigade undertook the project of rebuilding a school in a village near Taji, Iraq. Here are some pictures from our first visit to the school. The kids were great. Treated us like rock stars! It was great to intermingle with those children, all of whom were genuinely happy to see us.

I have some nearly identical pictures from 34 years ago in Vietnam....those who serve in these places know they are making a HUGE difference in the lives of the people who live there.

Good people are good people wherever they go.

The ugliness of a few sure can make the rest look bad.
