Sgt. Maj. of the Army Kenneth Preston, speaks to a formation of 4th Infantry Division Soldiers and their partnered troops, Dec. 20, at the Combat Aviation Brigade's hangar on Camp Taji, north of Baghdad. Preston is visiting Soldiers in Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan during the annual USO Tour: "SMA Hope & Freedom Tour 2008." During his visit to Camp Taji and Forward Operating Base War Eagle in Adhamiyah, which is located in northern Baghdad, he took advantage of the opportunity to speak with the assembled troops about where the Army was, where it is and where it is heading. "Hands down, there is no doubt in my mind that the Americans who we have serving today are the cream of our society," said Preston. "Those men and women – who volunteer to serve in an Army at war, and supporting a nation at war – are the best of what America has to offer."
