00:06.340 --> 00:09.130
Congressional delegates visit rockets

00:09.130 --> 00:11.352
on soldiers of the third brigade combat

00:11.352 --> 00:13.980
scene . 101st Airborne Division serving

00:13.980 --> 00:16.840
in camp striker Iraq . Representatives

00:16.840 --> 00:19.140
from Virginia , Mississippi hawaii and

00:19.140 --> 00:21.580
California came to enjoy dinner in

00:21.580 --> 00:23.880
conversation with soldiers from their

00:23.880 --> 00:26.300
states , june 29th . Okay , we're in

00:26.300 --> 00:28.710
Iraq to see the mission , how the

00:28.710 --> 00:31.080
mission is going , what can be needed .

00:31.090 --> 00:34.020
Um We were just talking about equipment ,

00:34.030 --> 00:36.250
different type of technology that you

00:36.250 --> 00:39.000
need more up here , but here at the

00:39.000 --> 00:41.380
camp really to talk to the soldiers to

00:41.380 --> 00:43.658
talk about what they need , personally ,

00:43.658 --> 00:45.936
not necessarily what the mission needs ,

00:45.936 --> 00:48.330
but to complete the mission by making

00:48.330 --> 00:50.386
sure that , you know , after someone

00:50.386 --> 00:53.560
serves their nation , we make sure that

00:53.640 --> 00:55.920
left out Nicole and that the freedom

00:55.920 --> 00:57.920
and the economic opportunities that

00:57.920 --> 00:59.753
they fought for everybody else's

00:59.753 --> 01:02.730
possible , also available for them when

01:02.730 --> 01:05.290
their time comes to come home and enjoy

01:05.290 --> 01:07.179
the freedom and prosperity . They

01:07.179 --> 01:09.350
fought for 15 soldiers from battalions

01:09.350 --> 01:11.430
across the command came to have a

01:11.430 --> 01:12.874
chance to meet with their

01:12.874 --> 01:14.819
representatives . I think it's our

01:14.819 --> 01:17.150
morale to know that our leaders , both

01:17.150 --> 01:19.261
sides of the house , still support us

01:19.261 --> 01:21.317
and by their questions , we can tell

01:21.317 --> 01:23.372
that they know that we're doing good

01:23.372 --> 01:25.650
things here and like I said , you know ,

01:25.650 --> 01:24.930
they're seeing the truth . They're

01:24.930 --> 01:27.041
seeing what's happening down here and

01:27.041 --> 01:29.374
that's the way to do it . I think by me ,

01:29.374 --> 01:31.097
seeing my leaders , you know ,

01:31.097 --> 01:33.097
representing me back home , come to

01:33.097 --> 01:35.208
Iraq to see what we're doing to check

01:35.208 --> 01:37.430
on our progress . You know , that's the

01:37.430 --> 01:37.350
mark of a good leader reporting for the

01:37.360 --> 01:39.950
third Brigade combat Team 101st

01:39.960 --> 01:42.190
Airborne Division Rock Hassan's . I'm

01:42.190 --> 01:44.570
Army staff Sergeant , Desire Right .
