DALLAS — Twenty years later, veterans are reflecting on their service and remembering fallen comrades. Iraqis are talking about how their country has changed and how it has not.

In a little over a month, he would be leaving the most powerful office in the world and handing over responsibility for a devastating war that he had launched five years earlier. https://www.independent.co.uk/world/iraq-war-anniversary-bush-shoe-journalist-b2304479.html? Nearly 300,000 women served during the Iraq War. Two decades later, they remain ‘the invisible veterans.’ Christina Schauer deployed to Baghdad in March 2003 during her sophomore year in college. At age 20, Schauer was part of an 800-member reserve battalion that consisted mainly of engineers, truck drivers, mechanics and a handful of medics like herself, tasked with building up the military bases that are there now. About 10 percent were women, she said. https://19thnews.org/2023/03/iraq-war-women-veterans-invisible-20-years-later/?
