The Iraq War is over. For all who said it wouldn't happen, that President Obama wouldn't do it.....this is what Hope and Change is all about. You bet it happened, because one man had the courage to stop the war.

The speech was for the troops, for their families. A Commander-in-Chief who is grateful for all they did.

Did anyone catch this during the speech:

President Obama says" because of you our world is a better place, our country is safer" A Marine yells back "Because of YOU!"

That says it all.
