Canadian blogger gets permission to embed in Afghanistan
Over on The Torch, Damian Brooks is reporting that he has received permission to embed himself with the troops in Afghanistan. Brooks writes:
This is a first for a Canadian blogger. A fairly narrow first, but a first nonetheless: bloggers have served, but not really written about it; American bloggers have embedded with Canadian troops; Canadian bloggers have gone over unilaterally. But to the best of my knowledge, a Canadian blogger has never before been invited on a CF-sponsored visit.
Good luck, Damian, and we'll be watching your blog for news from Afghanistan.

My son is going on his second tour again in 2009, I "need to know" is how I cope, I know him and his fellow soldiers are in harms way, so I watch television, read papers, books and watch for photo's of him and his troops, I also pray that each and everyone will come home safe, I thankyou for having the courage to be with them, I will pray for you along with my son and his troops.
