This is how an American soldier is made.
For 27 months, Ian Fisher, his parents and friends, and the U.S. Army allowed Denver Post reporters and a photographer to watch and chronicle his recruitment, induction, training, deployment, and, finally, his return from combat. A selection of photos from Ian’s journey are posted below.
The story was written by Kevin Simpson with Michael Riley, Bruce Finley and Craig F. Walker. It was reported by Riley in Colorado and at Fort Benning, Ga., Finley at Fort Carson and in Iraq, and photographer Craig F. Walker throughout.
The multimedia project, including all the photos, video and special features, can be viewed at www.denverpost.com/americansoldier

ReplyDeleteIt certainly is and it is amazing how young thet ALL are. It really annoys all these tired old men like Cheney having NO regard for these young lives, tho I am sure Liz will say otherwise LOL!
BTW I was always wondering who it was from Brighton that was staying for what seemed like days at 'Exile'...now I know!

Don't know about staying for days, but I do check in everyday. Always something to read/lear/listen to. Keep up the good work Mona.
