All American troops are coming home from Iraq by the end of this year! Today President Barack Obama declared an end to the Iraq war, which has been one of the longest and most divisive conflicts in U.S. history!

 President Obama was an opponent of the war from the start when he took office and accelerated the end of the conflict. He declared that the U.S. combat mission was over in August 2010.

He said that, “Over the next two months our troops in Iraq, tens of thousands of them, will pack up their gear and board convoys for the journey home. The last American soldier will cross the border out of Iraq with their heads held high, proud of their success and knowing that the American people stand united in our support for our troops.

The U.S. and its allies invaded Iraq in March 2003. Since then more than 4,400 American military members have been killed.
