CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Extending the thanks of Congress and a grateful nation 
to the Iraqis Mohammed and Iman for their brave ac-

United States forces, at great risk to themselves, infor-
mation essential for the rescue of Private First Class

Whereas during Operation Iraqi Freedom an Iraqi man, iden-
tified only as ‘‘Mohammed’’, and his wife ‘‘Iman’’ risked 
their own lives to help save the life of Private First Class 
Jessica D. Lynch, United States Army, of Palestine, 
West Virginia, an American prisoner of war being held 
and mistreated in an Iraqi hospital; 
Whereas on March 23, 2003, Private First Class Lynch, of 
the Army’s 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company, was 
captured by Iraqi paramilitary forces near the city of 
Nasiriyah, Iraq; 
Whereas Private First Class Lynch courageously fought 
against her attackers and sustained severe injuries; 
Whereas according to reports, ‘‘Mohammed’’, having learned 
that Private First Class Lynch was being held and mis-
treated at that hospital, walked six miles down ‘‘ambush 
alley’’, further risking his own life, to offer American 
forces important information about the whereabouts of 
Jessica Lynch; 
Whereas in the following days, at the request of United 
States officers, Mohammed made several more risky trips 
to the hospital, which was full of Iraqi security guards, 
gathering information on the number of troops and mak-
ing hand-drawn maps of the building’s layout and loca-
tion; 
Whereas Mohammed’s wife Iman, an employee at the hos-
pital, provided other crucial details about the building, in-
cluding the fact a helicopter could land on the roof; 
Whereas acting on this information, on April 1, 2003, a Spe-
cial Operations force of Navy SEALS, Army Rangers, 
and Air Force special operations personnel, together with 
forces of the Marine Corps, conducted a daring raid and
•HCON 151 IH 
rescued Private First Class Lynch and recovered the re-
mains of nine other members of the Army who were 
killed in the line of duty near Nasiriyah; 
Whereas Mohammed and Iman acted courageously in the face 
of daunting obstacles and great danger; 
Whereas Mohammed and Iman’s courage shows the greatness 
and compassion that individuals can achieve in the face 
of tyranny and oppression; and 
Whereas the humanitarian actions of Mohammed and Iman 
serve as an example that underscores the commonality 
between all people, regardless of racial or religious dif-
ferences: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) applauds the brave actions of the Iraqis Mo-
hammed and Iman against oppression and tyranny 
in providing to United States forces, at great risk to 
themselves, information essential for the rescue of 
Private First Class Jessica Lynch, United States 
Army, from Iraqi captivity on April 1, 2003; 
(2) holds their actions up to the world as an ex-
ample of the courage and values all people of the 
world share in the face of tyranny and oppression; 
and 
(3) recognizes Mohammed and Iman as true 
friends of the United States, thanks them for their
