We've ragged on the media a few times in the past, so I wanted to share something I found that really wowed me. UPI reporter Pamela Hess took a trip to Iraq to find out why our servicemembers had such high morale. She learned so much from meeting our spouses that she kept choking up during her interview. If you've got nine minutes to spare, I highly recommend hearing what this reporter learned when she saw our spouses in their milieu. I think she really grasped what these men and women face every day, and I hope her story reaches as many people as possible.
