Purple Fingers
"Every purple finger is a bullet in the chest of terrorism."
Quote of the day - by the Iraqi man who helped save Private Jessica Lynch. (HT: Beth Topaz)
strengthandhonor.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/dscn0557.JPG The enthusiasm today around the Iraqi Headquarters was contagious. As the sun came up, the place was buzzing again with activity. We rolled out two large convoys to go take the Senior Staff and Soldiers to check on the security status of the polling centers in our sectors. While they were there, several of them voted, since they had not done so during the past few days. A few of the Iraqi Officers laughed when I inspected their fingertips for purple ink when they returned to the TOC. It was a quiet day for the most part, as expected. There were no Iraqi or American Soldiers hurt due to enemy action. A few civilians were wounded, unfortunately, but all in all, the day was a great success. Turnout appeared to be the strongest of any election yet.
