promoted several Soldiers; was briefed by the U.S. Army Central Command;
met with General George Casey; and Ambassador Zalmay Khalilizad, the U.S.

Support Battalion in Afghanistan.
“I am so proud of the men and women of our Armed Forces who are
doing a tremendous job in extraordinarily difficult circumstances,”

every day to serve our country and help the Iraqis build their future.
It was an honor to meet and spend time with so many of them.”
