"The opportunity to help this family in Iraq was both humbling and exciting, especially seeing firsthand what our troops are going through. It's awe-inspiring," Matt Roloff said.  "Even after all I've accomplished in my life, this experience has reminded me that we all face challenges some more extreme than others and we need to take every chance we have to make an impact in the world around us."
