On Monday we posted the letter of thanks from the mayor of Tall 'Afar to the members of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment. Greyhawk had originally posted the letter over at Mudville Gazette here.

I thought the letter was a remarkable document and would be reported in some form by newspapers, but apparently not.
A Google News search turns it up in precisely one (1) newspaper, the St. George Spectrum ("Southern Utah's Home Page").

Today's Spectrum reports: "A thank you for America -- Iraqi mayor gives thanks to U.S. soldiers."

Haider Ajina and several other readers have forwarded the mayor's earlier letter to General Casey (in PDF) expressing similar sentiments and requesting that the 3rd ACR stay in Tall 'Afar. The letter concludes: "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, our hero, General Casey."
