The Army says it prioritizes "boots on the ground" because that's how you really win a war. Well, it's time the collective media followed your lead and started also prioritizing "boots on the ground", because that's how you really tell a story.

As another Mom said ... you told us about many things my son never mentioned. He lives it daily and probably thinks it is unimportant, but you helped us understand so much of what they do and what they go through daily. The photos and articles were wonderful even though none featured my very own soldier ... and I will genuinely miss them, I "tuned in" daily for my update. Welcome home and thank you more than words can possibly express. Another Proud Army Mom ... from Clifton, Arizona
