Iraqi Liberation Day

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.
