The three videos below show most of the multiservice ceremony in Baghdad in which 1,200 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines serving in Iraq reenlisted. The videos include the speeches by MNF-I’s Command Sergeant Major (Hill) and Commander (Petraeus) intact. General Petraeus speaks in the second video below.
By my count via a Google News search, there is a grand total of three or four newspaper stories covering the largest reenlistment ceremony in the history of the American military. Thanks to Mudville Gazette and Greyhawk for forwarding the videos.
