U.S. Army Lt. Gen. William Wallace, 5th Corps Commander, speaks to the soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division's 2nd Brigade Combat Team, exhorting them to stay vigilant as Operation Iraqi Freedom transitions into a peacekeeping and humanitarian stage. "Don't let your guard down," Wallace said. "Show the people of this country the proper respect, but be careful. There's still a bunch of knuckleheads running around." He went on to praise the troops for giving "back to the Iraqi people the society and culture that is rightfully theirs." U.S. Army photo by Spc. Robert Woodward
