With the U.S. marking the 10th anniversary of the Iraq war, The Am Law Daily contacted lawyers with personal connections to a conflict that claimed the lives of roughly 4,500 Americans and untold Iraqis for their thoughts a decade after the invasion.

The American Lawyer first reported back in 2007 on the experience of several attorneys in the war zone. Two of those lawyers were Army Reserve officer and former Williams & Connolly associate Joseph Fluet III and ex-Venable associate Alice "Tally" Parham, one of the first American women to fly a fighter jet in combat.
