Major Kirk Luedeke
.
Skip and I are honored to be able to offer ‘Grok readers a very special addition to our team of contributors: Major Kirk Luedeke. Regular readers might recall that we posted a letter he had written to his mother in which he reported on some of the good news happening on the ground in and around Baghdad. That is because he is, in fact, there right now, helping the US win the new world war against radical Islam. After we published the piece, and an exchange of emails, "Major Kirk", a Public Affairs Officer in the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division– The Dragon Brigade, currently on active duty in Baghdad, Iraq, has agreed to do some Blogging for us, or, as it is called, "MilBlogging."
.
Starting tomorrow, the first of his reports straight from the battlezone will appear. We have left the subject matter entirely up to the Major, and asked him to write at HIS convenience, given the importance of his daily mission. That being said, we encourage all of our readers to feel free to either email us with questions or topics that you might like Major Kirk to write about or simply drop them in the "comments" area– we are sure he will try to accomodate as much as possible.
.
I know I speak for everybody hanging out here at the ‘Grok when I thank the Major for offering to share his thoughts with us, and above all, for his service in our armed forces….
WELCOME ABOARD, MAJOR LUEDEKE!!
Check out Major Kirk’s bio. As you can see, he is the real deal. It is reassuring to know that our Nation has such fine people defending us:
