Thank you ladies and gentlemen.
More than 1,200 US troops serving in Iraq signed up for extended service in the military to mark America's national day on Friday.God bless America.
At least 1,215 troops re-enlisted for periods ranging from two to six years at the ceremony held at the spacious Al-Faw palace of executed dictator Saddam Hussein near Baghdad airport.
General David Petraeus, the head of US-led coalition forces in Iraq, said he was "proud of their decision to re-enlist and help the people of Iraq win their most important battle ... freedom."
The US military has regularly re-enlisted service members in Iraq but Friday's swearing-in was one of the largest, the military said.
