March 18, 2008 - Today marks the fifth anniversary of the War in Iraq. In a bipartisan Congressional remembrance ceremony last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid joined his fellow Congressional leaders in honoring our troops, veterans and their families for five years of service and sacrifice in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Today we stand together, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans, all, to honor every airman, soldier, sailor and marine who has served – and every American hero who has perished in the far-off land of Iraq," said Senator Reid. He continued, "while today’s focus is on the five-year war in Iraq, we do not forget the men and women who have sacrificed in Afghanistan. We could not possibly honor our troops with words to match the honor of their brave action."
