Thank you, Sir! We are indeed very proud of you. Bravery is not fearlessness. It's doing something in spite of fear. And you guys are the pinnacle of bravery.

Thanks for sharing the positives all you men and women are doing in Iraq. I have given up on the media reporting the positives instead of only negatives.

Keep up the good work, be safe, and may God bless you all.

It is so good to get this type of news and I am quite pleased to hear of something fruitful going on. I ferverently pray that this leader and his entourage can survive (and our support persists) long enough for some kind of real momentum to build behind his efforts and we can start to "turn the corner" on this mess. Thank you.

Only just now finding you and am quite glad I did. Excellent work and thank you for your service, sir. Well done.

Actions such as those taken to defend the local sheikh are precisely what will defeat al-Qaeda and the insurgency, serving to embolden free Iraqis to defend themselves with the confidence that we will support them in kind.

There is nothing more noble or noteworthy than giving someone there freedom.

Be proud of yourself. Others certainly are of you.

Thank you for your service.

Also, thank you for this account of the several good things you experienced this past week.

I may be mistaken, but I think that this is how the war will be won. Stay long enough to make the most of the opportunities that arise by having been there, fighting, making the difference. And get the word out across Iraq and the other areas of conflict, an important front being the homefront.

Back home we hear a lot about how our presence there (and everywhere) provokes and attracts the enemy fighters.

But your account shows that by showing commitment, there are Iraqis who show their commitment against our mutual enemies. Our presence (your presence) is proactive and attracts Iraqis ready to defend their country with or without our aid.

That sort of mutual and spontaneous understanding in action on the battlefield takes time and guts to grow and to harvest. Grand things start small.

It is too horrible to imagine abandoning such friends of action in the field of combat.

God Bless.

Good work! You boys are heros, and it's good to hear your (and badger 6s) stories in your own words, rather than the rather one sided, not to say criminally biased, version peddled by the mainstream media. You are doing a vitally important job, both here on your blog and in Iraq in general. Never forget it. We won't.

God speed,
