A note from the field...

"Afghanistan is a challenging environment. The conditions are harsh and primative. There exists a very fine line between modern living and tribal nomadic life.

The blog entries over the past few weeks have been minimal. There are many more stories still to come. As I have moved about the country over the past few weeks, I have been faced with a variety of challenges, all of which take time to resolve. I have not stopped writing or composing video stories. The key has been timing, and the challenges of connectivity.

The one thing that remains constant are the soldiers. They continue to demonstrate a selfless committment to their jobs inspite of the personal challenges they confront. Not every soldier is in combat, but every soldier has an important job in the total operation. As I have said before, every soldier that is here is a hero. "
