Thank you for telling
SFC Salie's story Mr. Galloway,
Thank you for your continued service of telling the military's stories with honesty, understanding, and grace.
I found your story through a
blog of a soldier's wife whose husband is still in Iraq. I was not aware that you were still reporting and would like to be able to follow whatever you have to report. Do you have a web site or blog where your stories are centrally linked? I would very much like to add any such site to my own blogroll, and I'm sure that many other military bloggers would, too.
If you are without a website and have any interest in starting such a project, I am sure that there are a lot of people who would want to give you assistance for the honor of working with you. I cannot recommend my own web skills because they are so slim.
Thank you again for your work,
Patrick S Lasswell

UPDATE: Chutzpah is its Own Reward! OK, maybe getting a response from a writer after you ask for help promoting his work is not a cause for celebration. Nevertheless, Joe Galloway is worthy of respect and attention. In an era when it is almost impossible to find reporters who get the real story filed, let alone the details right, this reporter keeps doing the job right. We live free because brave men risk much, and Joe Galloway tells their stories well. Here is what he sent:

Have I mentioned how much I think of the man who flew into the Valley of Death because that's where the story was?
His link is here.
