When I ask why Soldiers are reenlisting, many have told me that they like the unit they are in and that they are being well led.
Whether I'm in Afghanistan, or in Iraq doing reenlistments, the story is always the same. These Soldiers standing before you are brave, courageous, and they have a sense of purpose - and we ought to be thankful that these young men and women have chosen to reenlist and continue their service in Iraq.
