Today is the third anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, and in honor of the efforts of our troops, Captain’s Quarters has an interview with Merrilee Carlson. Merrilee is a Gold Star mother from Minnesota who has led the effort to support the troops through Minnesota Families United, a chapter of the national support group. Merrilee wrote a guest post for CQ on Friday, and that evening I interviewed her about a range of subjects on the war and the support coming from the home front.
The interview is available for download here. It’s about twenty-five minutes and will download slowly. Later I will post the transcript, but for now I’d like Merrilee to speak with her own voice. Don’t forget to sign their letter when you visit their website.
