I’ve been away– I was in Afghanistan recently and traveled to different parts of the country, and met with members of the Afghan government and NATO and ISAF. A fascinating trip to a complex place.

Look for Doug back on the “Imus In The Morning” to talk about Afghanistan.

I am really looking forward to attending Colonel Mark Mitchell’s change of command ceremony at Ft Campbell on August 14, 2009. My father is coming with me. He and the rest of my family have been lucky enough to meet some of the people I write about in Horse Soldiers. I hope to see you there. I may be visiting a bookstore in Clarksville. Best, Doug
