Iraq War Watch: Iraq Liberation Day – A Remembrance

Washington Times: Families seek remembrance of Iraq liberation day

Families of American troops are asking national newspapers and television news networks not to ignore the three-year anniversary Sunday of the day Saddam Hussein fled Baghdad and his statue was toppled.

“We are keenly aware that the national media is drawn towards covering milestones and we respectfully request that you not ignore this historic date,” Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission wrote to four news network presidents, National Public Radio and four national newspapers.

Chuck Larson, the founder of the group and an Iraq war veteran as a member of the U.S. Army Reserves, said April 9, 2003, was a critical day in the development of democracy in the Middle East.

From the blogosphere a remembrance (via Michelle Malkin):
