Happy Birthday, Iraqi Army!

"Today is the 85th anniversary of the Iraqi Army.
I would like to take the chance to salute the Iraqi soldiers, who served in the Iraqi army since 1921. I also want to thank Iraq’s friends who are trying to help the Iraqi Army to stand on its feet after decades of humiliation and brainwashing under the former dictator regimes.

“We believe in you. You are The protectors of Iraq. God bless you Iraqi soldiers.” I try to say these words, or some of them, to any Iraqi soldier I see at checkpoints in Baghdad or anywhere in the country. They need the support and I try to do my best to show them that support."
