BAGHDAD, Iraq — Members of the Iraqi Army in Besmaya collected a donation for the San Diego, Calif., fire victims Thursday night at the Besmaya Range Complex in a moving ceremony to support Besmaya's San Diego residents.
Iraqi Army Col. Abbass, the commander of the complex, presented a gift of $1,000 to U.S. Army Col. Darel Maxfield, Besmaya Range Complex officer in charge, Multi-National Security Transition Command Iraq, to send to the fire victims in California.
The money was collected from Iraqi officers and enlisted soldiers in Besmaya. In a speech given during the presentation, Col. Abbass stated that he and the Iraqi soldiers were connected with the American people in many ways, and they will not forget the help that the American government has given the Iraqi people. Abbass was honored to participate by sending a simple fund of $1,000 to the American people in San Diego, to lower the suffering felt by the tragedy.

People who are grateful to America for helping them in their time of need. People who want to return the favor in any way they are able. People who want to say thank you. People who want to be like us. I suppose that means they want to be free? I suppose that means they DO want a democracy?
TAKE THAT LIBS!

People with a heart and who don't wear their dignity on their sleeve waiting for polls to be held to determine if it's the right thing to do or not...
Decent people.
If Hillary really cared about the country and NOT be a greedy witch, she'd win by a landslide regardless of how dumb she really is if she donated 1/10 of her presidential campaign money (illegal dough or not) to the California fire fighting effort.

Sounds like the kind of story the American "mainstream media" would either never tell,or would put on the back page.
