More than 4,200 US military personnel have died in Iraq since 2003
President Barack Obama is due to announce the withdrawal of most US troops in Iraq by August 2010.
In a speech later, he is expected to confirm that the US "combat mission" in Iraq will officially end by that time.
He is also expected to say that up to 50,000 of the 142,000 troops will stay in Iraq after that date to advise Iraqi forces and protect American interests.
