22 November 2008 - Victory in Iraq Day
Go here to see the folks who organized VI Day. I can't say enough about how proud I am of our nation's success, and of the hard work and sacrifice of my brothers and sisters in arms. We all know that when the last troops come home there will be little mention about the real victory in Iraq, so we've all come together to celebrate it today.
The following are not my words, they're from the website I linked, but they hit the nail on the head.
On this November 22, 2008, join us in observing Victory in Iraq Day.
Let us honor the sacrifice, dedication and sheer determination of American, coalition and Iraqi troops who have brought freedom to the nation and people of Iraq.
Although our governments have chosen to not name any official day marking the end of this war, we the people have taken it upon ourselves to commemorate November 22, 2008 as the day of victory over the forces of tyranny, oppression and terror in Iraq.
Join fellow bloggers and other members of the public in this virtual ticker-tape parade for our brave troops, to celebrate their success, to remember the fallen, and to declare, in the words of President John F. Kennedy (RIP):
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay
any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any
foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
