You may not hear about it, but many Iraqi police stations are staffed by loyal and dedicated Iraqis who are committed to providing a secure future for their fellow countrymen.

U.S. Troops recently made the effort to show that such dedication was appreciated, delivering a long-delayed shipment of essential office supplies to properly equip the office.  May these brave young men maintain the resolve to stare down those who use violence against the innocents and force their will upon others.
