Feel good story of the week you won’t see in the MSM:
Members of the Iraqi Army in Besmaya collected $1000 in donations for the victims of the San Diego wildfires to support Besmaya’s San Diego residents.
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.
Richard S. Lowery from Op For says:
Here is an example of Iraqi charity and gratitude which touched my soul. Imagine how incredibly generous these soldiers are. They have little to support their own families. It’s not enough that they are fighting daily to bring peace to their country. They are actually reaching out to help unfortunate Americans.

Would that mean that I’d have to be constantly fighting with liberal wordpress blogs?

What makes this story so heartwarming, is that it was Iraqi soldiers who collected the money from their own pockets for the American victims of the wildfires.

$1000 is prolly a serious amount of money for them.
