One thing about being a public affairs officer; there's always something to do.   Today has been filled with writing press releases and planning where my Soldiers are going to be covering things.  One of the things we do try cover is the growing capabilities of the Afghan Security Forces. 

These are brave people who standing up for their country, working to protect thier fellow Afghans from thosse who seek to destroy and harm them.   We don't do anything here that they aren't a part of.  They're right there with us, standing shoulder to shoulder conducting, and often leading the missions.
