BESMAYA RANGE COMPLEX - A group of Iraqi Soldiers stepped up to help California residents victimized by recent wildfires raging throughout the state.
Iraqi Army Col. Abbas Fadhil, Besmaya Range Complex commander, and his team of "Abbas' Eagles" raised $500 for wildfire relief.
"We want to send a message to the American president and the American people," Abbas said. "We feel that we are a family -- one body. When one part of the body suffers, the other parts suffer, too."
