Jalalabad, Afghanistan

Caleb's sister Morgan has posted a picture I thought I'd link to. It's not exactly the stuff I normally see in the newspapaper. The explanation for the photo is on Morgan & Mel's blog. (Check out the rest of the photos of Afghanistan).

Morgan's over in Jalalabad, Afghanistan right now as a medic with the US military. If you're interested in a an honest first person perspective on the ground, you should check the blog out. Particularly these posts. I love their honesty.

Say what you will about military intervention, Morgan's making a positive difference in the lives of Afghanis every day over there and risking her life to do it.

I think all of us who serve or did serve in Afghanistan would like to make a difference to that unfortunate land. Funny, when asked about my service there, I end up talking about building schools, bridges, etc., not much about fighting.
