After months of missions and planning, the phone call finally came confirming, "Yes, we got him!" On this special Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson, join Lt. Col. Steven Russell of the 4th Infantry Division in reliving that historic day when U.S. military forces were finally successful in capturing Saddam Hussein. As we wrap up 2011, it's a great reminder that here in the United States, we'll always stand for freedom.
