Today Congressman David Scott (D-GA) met with U.S. troops stationed at Camp Victory in Iraq and praised soldiers for their extraordinary valor and noble service.

“I cannot describe how proud I am of the fine job that our brave young soldiers are doing in Iraq,” said Congressman Scott. “Our troops are successfully fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and insurgents in Iraq while winning the hearts and minds of people throughout the Middle East region. I was especially honored to meet and have lunch with soldiers from Georgia at Camp Victory today. I was humbled to hear of their experiences and proud to personally share how thankful and supportive I and the people of Georgia are of their many contributions to the ongoing war in Iraq.”

Congressman Scott is traveling with a small bipartisan group of members of Congress to assess the ongoing war on terror in the Middle East firsthand. Scott has spent the past week in Bulgaria, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Pakistan, and Iraq visiting with troops and meeting with military leaders and government officials.
