President Bush speaks to soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division today at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina
President Bush spoke today at Fort Bragg, North Carolina -- home of the 82nd Airborne Division, as well as several other units. His message was simple: that, according to him, "we are on our way to victory" in Iraq.
Among other activities, the President presided over the presentation of the Distinguished Service Cross to Specialists Eric Moser and Chris Corriveau -- the two heroes of a nameless battle in Samarra last August 26 that saw a massive al Qaeda kidnap-and-execution operation foiled by a team of four paratroopers. Specialist Tracy Willis and Sergeant Josh Morley tragically lost their lives in the incident.
UPDATE: Lake Charles, LA's local CBS affiliate has a brief story on SPC Moser today.
