Oliver North on Tours of Duty

I was honored to be mentioned today by Oliver North in an article he has written about Jane Fonda's cross country tour.  You can check out the article entitled "Vegetable OIl and Tours of Duty" here: http://www.townhall.com/columnists/ollienorth/on20050729.shtml#. 

In a way that only Oliver North can convey, he writes to Jane Fonda that:

Hopefully at some point during your Jihadist journey, you will bump into Sgt. Christopher Missick of the 319th Signal Battalion. While in Iraq, Missick met hundreds of good Americans through his blog, "A Line in the Sand." Home now, he and a fellow veteran are driving around the country -- fueled by conventional gasoline -- to meet some of the patriots -- his "web of support" -- who sent letters, packages and prayers. He wants to personally thank them and "meet the heart of America."

That's the kind of support the troops appreciate, not your caravan of craven critics.

Wired Magazine

Wired magazine has profiled several milbloggers and I have been fortunate enough to be one of them.  The article, written by John Hockenberry, discusses numerous aspects of blogging from theater and examines some of the potential problems that may arise.  You can pick up a copy at any newstand in the country. 

The story will be linked here on August 4th, and is entitled The Blogs of War.
