[Ed. Note: Read Dr. Biden’s post about celebrating Independence Day with troops in Iraq yesterday here]
Today I started my day off at a breakfast event with civilian volunteers from the U.S. embassy here in Iraq. Just like our soldiers, these individuals are sacrificing a tremendous amount on behalf of our country. This post is particularly challenging, and we owe them a great deal of gratitude for their service.
Afterwards, I met with about a dozen Iraqi women who teach English here in the greater Baghdad area. We talked about their experiences in the classroom, their students, and their hopes and vision for the future of the Iraqi education system.
