It's seems like yesterday. For Staff Sgt. Kenneth Corry and Sgt. Bobby Joe Magers Jr., ten years after the war in Iraq began the memories are still all too clear. They remember the sounds, the smells and most importantly the remember the friends they lost along the way.
What's not clear to many other Americans is the reason behind the mission. According to a news CBS poll 54 percent of Americans feel the U.S. should have stayed out of Iraq, down significantly from the 69% approval rating the war saw in 2003.
While questions remain, for the soldiers it is not about politics. Instead their focus is on the task they were given, and the hope they left Iraq a better country than it was before they arrived.
