Yesterday, after nearly nine years of war, the US military officially declared an end to its mission in Iraq. The occasion was marked by a brief, low-key flag-lowering ceremony in a fortified compound at Baghdad airport. More than one million Americans served in Iraq during the course of the conflict. At the height of the war, 170,000 American soldiers were stationed at more than 500 military installations across the country. Today, just 4,000 troops remain on two US bases there, and they are scheduled to return home by the end of the year.US Declares War in Iraq Officially Over
