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.

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.
