Today we will take a different approach to CPT Patti's web site.
Today we take time out to get the news from Baghdad directly from a soldier who returned from there only yesterday.
COL Tucker, who up until yesterday commanded the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division, held a wonderful session today in Friedberg for families of deployed soldiers.
Saying he had read the papers back here over the last two days, "I can see that you folks are starved for news."
And so the colonel made it his mission to give us that news.
And in the end, hearing the first person perspective is so much more satisfying than scouring the internet for news.
For the colonel's story reminds us that the news outlets are very much like flies - they swarm first to that which is rotten.
Be patient while I post these over the next hour or two. And then - again - be proud of your soldiers.
