So this decade, El Salvador has been a good friend by helping us in Iraq. Their troops have just left:
The last Salvadoran troops are home from Iraq, ending Latin America's military presence there.
Five Salvadoran soldiers were killed and 20 wounded over the country's five-year deployment.
So thank you, El Salvador, for sticking with us to victory.
One day, Iraqi forces might display a similar level of gratitude in some other country where we need help.
