Stykers Made a Difference

Col. Bob Brown of the 1st Brigade Strykers has recently returned home and says his troops made a "huge difference" in Northern Iraq:

"One of the things you can measure is 80 percent of al-Qaida in Northern Iraq were either captured or killed. That's not our term, this came from the al-Qaida leaders themselves."
The Stryker Brigade, known by its specialized vehicles, spent much of its time around Mosul.
"We captured the No. 2 al-Qaida leader in Iraq and the No. 1 in Northern Iraq and after he was captured, the next 7 guys to step up to take over were captured."

Thanks Colonel to you and your men, and God Bless!
