Today, we have been working pretty hard. We're actually taking the afternoon off. I didn't really ask my bosses back in Baton Rouge. However, we haven't really had any sleep since last Wednesday. I think one day of rest won't really hurt.
We've had a really interesting time so far.
Last night - interviewing the Stevens brothers was very difficult. It was so awesome to let them talk back and forth with their family on LIVE TV. It was hard to keep my composure though. There was a lot of emotion here in Iraq after that interview.
Tonight - we have an interesting story about the Iraqi Army. We were able to tour their facilities here. Plus, I had the oppurtunity to get a tour of one soldier's bunk. You're going to be impressed with the facilities here. It's not a 5-star hotel, but as Rusty Johnston explains, it's better than the last time he was deployed to the Middle East. Time for some rest.
Thanks for reading.
