"I have no regrets about being here and know I'm contributing to a great effort -- if you heard some of the stories first hand, you would feel pretty good, too. I had lunch with a few Iraqis and they were laughing and one leaned over to me and said, 'You don't understand. For 35 years, we couldn't laugh. Now we can. Thank you!' That meant a lot," she said.

"It was also a pretty good feeling (Tuesday) when the first of four 'Saddam heads' came down," Lindsay said. She even posed in her red Paulsboro Football sweatshirt for a snapshot in front of one of the heads about to be removed.
