One relatively new blogger out there who links to me fairly often is Craig over at the Sandbox. He's got an interesting little blog going with (I think) quite a lot of potential. He's active duty Air Force, but has not deployed to the Iraq theater yet. Today, Craig sent me a letter describing a project he is starting, one I think will be a very interesting one.
I am currently active duty Air Force, and stories of military personnel truly interest me. I have few stories of great interest being in garrison and having yet to be deployed. I am also transitioning from an enlisted communications troop to a commissioned navigator over the course of the next few months. I’m excited about the opportunity to continue my service as a commissioned officer in the world’s premier Air Force.
The reason I am writing all of you is to see if any other blogs are willing to help with a weekly post I am trying to get going. It’s called “Why I Fight.”
I am looking to have current and former military members write in and tell me their story. I’d like to know what inspired them to join, as well as what their service means to them. I recently posted the second in (hopefully) a long future series of inspiring stories.
I think that is a very worthwhile task he has set for himself and look forward to seeing it develop. By all means, stop by and visit him.
