I look forward to reading every entry for a deeper understanding of what it means to be in the front lines. Greg is a serious and very able writer.

January 28, 2005 09:39 PM | Permalink for this commentGreg's posts give me the experiences of both the mundane and horrors of war. I appreciate being able to get another perspective, a primary source report, rather than just the propaganda we hear/read in the news. Greg really holds true to the UU principals of the inherent worth of ALL life, not only the allied personnel.

Chris Walton says:
January 30, 2005 10:37 PM | Permalink for this commentNo, Mr Underhill, you only need to select one of the candidates in the box that says "Poll" at the top and "AddFreeStats" at the bottom. Unfortunately, there may be browsers that are set to block scripts of the sort that place the poll in the page. I'm sorry if that's the case, but there's nothing I can do about it. Think of the comments as testimonials outside the polling station.
