LIBERATICN CF KiNAIT CITY

 -   The United States Marines' and Coalition Forces' attacks to
 isolate and secure Kuwait City achieved unprecedented success.
 The savage brutality and wanton criminal actions of the occupying
 Iraqi forces became readily apparent.  Surrounding oil fields
 raged as an uncontrollable inferno and the blackened sky turned
 day into night.  Kuwaiti cltizens~reiated accounts of ruthless
 rapes, rrurder, pillage, despair, howeyer, the Kuwaiti population
 and the resiliency of mankind surfaced.  The Kuwaitis asked for no
 sympathy; made no requests for support.  Instead, the Kuwaitis
 graciously opened their homes and hearts to Pmerican Marines with
 thanks In recognition of the liberation of their city. The
 Kuwaiti citizens' ~oy and happiness confi~~d the value of freedom
 and the Justness of the conflict.  A small Kuwaiti young girls'
 gift of tiny Kuwait and United States flags to Prnerican Marines
 suddenly erased six months of challenges and sacrifices by the
 Marines in the harsh and desolate Saudi desert.
