A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
On Thursday, July 27th, representatives from Iraqi Kurdistan will meet with a delegation of “Gold Star Families” – family members who lost a son or daughter fighting the war against terrorism. The message from the Iraqi Kurds to these American families: “THANK YOU”
This important event will take place at the historic Fior d’Italia restaurant in San Francisco and is part of the national tour by the Iraqi Kurdistan delegation to send the message to the people of the United States that they wish to say, “Thank You Americaâ€? for the liberation of their region from the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein.
Attending the luncheon will be family members who lost a child in the war in Iraq as well as members of the news media. Today, the Washington Post reported on the efforts by the Iraqi Kurds in a news article titled, “The Iraq We Haven’t Seen.” – CLICK HERE to read the article.
The Kurdistan Development Corporation hopes to build stronger bonds between the people of the United States and Iraqi Kurdistan to encourage greater levels of trade & commerce.

The Kurds have really had it rough, and I’m glad they are happy with the way things are going. Think Muslims aren’t into ethnic cleansing of their own? Ask the Kurds. Truthfully, I think they are the group most ready for democracy in the Middle East…that is unless you were to take an honest poll of Muslim women around the world.

Wow!! Miriam you said a mouthful!! The Kurds are an amazing people! They have, since the first Gulf War, under US protection, been able to build a rather bustling society! The Iraqi’s from other parts of the country all go to the Kurdish part of the country to vacation in the calm and peace that is there. There is a lake there and the people are picnicing and swimming just like here on any given summer afternoon. They are advancing their infrastructure, and have major construction projects going. It truly is amazing.
And one other note, I think it says a lot that the Kurdish leaders would take out an ad on our tv just to say thanks!! Call me crazy but I couldn’t see, say, France saying thanks for savin our butts!!!
