Humvee Tragedy Forges Brotherhood of Soldiers - Iraqis Persevere to Recover Dead Americans

The actions of the Iraqis that Sunday "changed my mind for how I felt about these guys," he [Pfc. Russell Nahvi] said. "I have a totally different perspective now. They were just so into it. They were crying for us. They were saying we were their brothers, too."
.....
Asked why he now felt so strongly about helping the Americans, Abdul Mutalib said through an interpreter: "These people come 10,000 miles to help my country. They've left their families, their children. When we get hurt, they help treat us and take us to hospitals. If we can give them something back, just a little, we can show our thanks."

The Iraqis gathered atop the canal, smoking and shivering in the gathering darkness. The Americans helped cover the Iraqis with blankets and embraced them. A U.S. military truck pulled up with food for the rescuers. The Iraqis hadn't eaten all day. The U.S. soldiers lined up at the truck, heaping their plates with food. Instead of feeding themselves, they fanned out, distributing the plates to the Iraqis.
