RE: The people of Iraq send their regards and.....
from a soldier stationed in Camp Taji, Iraq:
Kathryn, Wanted to pass along a story from Baghdad this morning. At 0900, ~100 people started walking the 15km to a polling site in the city (their's was closed). The crowd grew to 300, then 500 and eventually more than 1,000. Some made the walk barefoot. As the reports came in our commander said: "Anyone willing to walk 10 miles to cast a ballot deserves to be protected." Then he ordered security for them.
