great speech...a great moment
The moment of the night was clearly the embrace of fallen Seargent Bill Norwood's mother by the daughter of an Iraqi man slain under Saddam Hussein. I could barely hold back the tears in a moment of gratitude and sorrow, thanksgiving and hope. How appropriate for a victim of Saddam Hussein to thank and console the mother of one who willingly gave his life for her freedom. Our soldiers have given that young woman hope for the future and an opportunity to have the life that her father never knew. That's why we're there...that's what it's all about.

I agree. I didn't even see the speech (came on during working hours in Korea), but I got all choked up just reading about. Thanks for posting this.
