My Iraqi Freedom

September 11, 2001 changed the world and changed the United States. But most of all, it changed the men and women who were sent to Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein and his brutal regime and to bring freedom to the Iraqi people under his rule. This is the story of one combat medic and his journey to and from one of the most dangerous cities in Iraq Sadr City. Follow SPC Bingham as he gives a detailed account of the day-to-day life of a soldier and combat medic during the initial stages of what has come to be known as Iraqi Freedom. Through his journal entries, we learn of the sadness, happiness, anger, and fear of those who served so far from home. Through his reflections, we learn what it all meant ten years later for himself and his family. We learn what daily life on the streets and dealing with a culture and language that was as foreign and confusing to them as it was for the people they were protecting. Freedom comes at a price. We all just have to know how much we are willing to pay.
