Blogwatch - Michael Yon

Michael has changed formats - and URLs.

He's gone from a blog to an actual site, and it looks great.

Here's a bit of his latest dispatch, Operation Iraqi Children: A Bright Shining Hope

Soldiers love to visit Iraqi schools. The teachers are welcoming, and
the kids are always excited. The children burst into smiles and waves, but seem to be almost nailed to their seats: they do not get up without the teachers’ permission.

The soldiers often arrive just to say hello, but at other times they unload trucks full of supplies: pencils, paper, and books. I visited a school far out in the boondocks near the Iranian border [...] In one of the classrooms, children were studying to identify mines and bombs, so they would not get blown up.


Read the rest at Michael's new site, and don't forget to bookmark it!
