Wednesday, April 9th, marks the fifth year anniversary of the day Saddam Hussein fled Baghdad. Iraq Liberation Day is a day to remember our fallen troops, our POW/MIA, and our troops now serving in this War on Terror.  Along with many Veterans Service Organizations, The Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. is responding to the call for national recognition of this day. We will be represented at a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery hosted by the Adjutants General of the United States. Later that evening the Ambassador of Iraq, on behalf of the Government and People of Iraq, will be hosting a dinner in honor of the families of our Iraq fallen heroes. All across America, citizens are asked to honk their car horns at 17:00 H, Eastern Daylight Time, at the same time the Dutch Carillion strikes the hour at Arlington National Cemetery for this National Remembrance.
