Al Kut - Wasit

I don't recall Mr Davidson or Mr Moore from the above posts, however I would have to agree with Mr Davidson's assesment. I'm disappointed that Mr Moore is so skeptical of Iraqis. I was in Al-Kut and Wasit from April to September 2003 and was able to make many friends there. To be sure, we had enemies in the area, but far and away the people of Kut and Wasit were accepting and friendly after a short period of skepticism and fear of Americans. To the people of Wasit, I continue to pray for your freedom and well-being. One day, I will return to visit and rejoice. al hamdulillah

Al Kut

Mr David Couvillon, You are welcome anytime to my home town. I pray to Allah that the dark days of the dictator Saddam will never come back. Iraq is a better place than during his days. I wish you all the best Hameed

Al-Kut

I was also there from April-Sept 03 and loved the people, food, and culture. My platoon lived in the fire station next to the al-aliza school across the river from the main section of town for over a month. The firemen really made us feel at home and it was hard to leave them. If you ever get by there tell the that Mr Browen says Hi and misses them. sdbrown1@yahoo.com

I am with Weapons Co. If you werew at the fire station, do you remember us dropping off a puppy to the Iraqi firemen? 2/8 gave it to us, and we were forced to give it up by our former 1st SGT. I would love to know what happened to it (named Avril). Hit me back at w0258588@selu.

Al Kut Iraq

I was also in Al Kut Iraq from April until September of 2003. Although we didn't know what to expect upon arrival, we found an overwhelming majority of the people to be very freindly. I have fond memories of the children waving to us as we passed by and how they would get so excited if we were even in the vicinity. I wish nothing but the best for the people of Iraq and hope peace will be brought to them all very soon.

al kut

I was also in Al Kut Iraq from April to Spetember of 2003. Just as others before have said, I have fond memories of the people and children native to the area. The greeted us warmly upon our arrival, and they were always helpful to point out weapons, or those who were harboring them. OOH-RAH Cesky. How's everyone with 2/23?
