I was approached to be a contributor to an online series called “In Their Boots“.

From the website:

IN THEIR BOOTS is a compelling new magazine show about the dramatic impact the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are having on us - the people here at home. The show will feature our Iraq and Afghanistan service men and women and their families in stories and situations that have universal appeal.

One of the episodes is focusing on music and visual art that’s being created by men and women who have survived deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. This is where I come in.

After a lengthy conversation (interview?) with one of the film’s employees, I revealed that I would be going to Israel shortly. Apparently it isn’t in their budget to do the interview in Israel.

But I did ask her to contact my platoon Sergeant because the project is also interested in documenting unit reunions. My platoon has vowed to have an annual reunion on, or very near, the date of our deployment, August 25th. They’ve been in contact for the last couple of weeks and it looks as if the platoon will have a film crew in their faces later this year. It’s a very exciting prospect. It kind of immortalizes our unit, what we did out there, and honors us in an almost historic way.

Here’s the trailer for the project:


I bet you can’t wait to see the full length episodes. I know I can’t!
