O'Malley's letter to Obama:

December 16th, 2011

Dear President Obama,

Thank you for doing what you said you would do in bringing our troops home from Iraq. Thank you for valuing the lives of our brave young men and women over the politically expedient course. Thank you for standing your ground against those who criticized and mocked you. Thank you for doing what only a few presidents have had the courage to do – end war.

Sincerely,

Martin O’Malley

Governor, State of Maryland
