This is a portion of Michael Yon's ongoing coverage of the war. He is one of the VERY few journalists who "Gets it." You will have to read or scroll down a bit to reach Sgt. Duplantier's tale. His Blog is one of the few places where you can get the straight skinny on what we are doing over there and to get a feel for what is really going on with the troops.

Michael Yon was 19 years old when he passed the Special Forces Q Course, and his journalistic efforts in reporting the ongoing conflict reflect that spirit of excellence.

Honor Sgt. Duplantier's memory by visiting http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/ and sending a brief message of support to our fighting men and women. God knows they need it right now.

Honor them all by getting involved on small levels by sending cards and care packages. There are numerous web sites that will lead you to these efforts.

They honor us with their service and sacrifice, lets honor them with our love and support as they Charlie Mike.

A post we would not have to see generated. But un-avoidable.
Thanks. If anyone would want to send letters/carepackages to a Marine unit now serving in Iraq, please feel free to email me. I will give details. The Marine unit I would mention is one that is how should I say, living in rather spartan conditions in northern Al Anbar. They shall be there for about three more months. Expect a package to take some three to four weeks to arrive. Please do not feel in any way obligated. I am sure many folks at this site already in some way, little and large do something for our troops.
