Welcome home troops

You have managed to get the troops out of Iraq, and we’re winding down in Afghanistan after having killed most of the al Qaeda leadership. I think you have been and excellent commander-in-chief. For the 4,500 soldiers who gave their lives in Iraq and to the thousands more who were wounded, and to their families, we are most grateful.

“James --

Early this morning, the last of our troops left Iraq.

As we honor and reflect on the sacrifices that millions of men and women made for this war, I wanted to make sure you heard the news.

Bringing this war to a responsible end was a cause that sparked many Americans to get involved in the political process for the first time. Today's outcome is a reminder that we all have a stake in our country's future, and a say in the direction we choose.

Thank you.

Barack”
