I would like to add my voice to the all of those who have already thanked NDD for posting Michael Yon's site. I added it to my favorite sites to read. No wonder CNN, CBS etc are lossing the ratings.

Very cool. Since he is an indy embedded journalist he is footing the bill for this whole thing. Every dime we donate means he can stay that much longer and complete his mission.

I also think that Mike is an obvious candidate for a Pulitzer. The guy is writing some amazing stories, and his work routinely brings tears to my eyes.

I imagined that the guy would be overwhelmed with emails, and so I resisted writing to him....but one day....I just had to reach out and tell him that I thought that he was doing some incredible work. He wrote back to me, and was very gracious.

He is blazing a new trail in so many ways.

And there is no doubt that he is telling the story of that unit...in ways that are absolutely unique.

I cannot say enough about him.

Update,

Michael Yon is back in Iraq. He hasn't said who he's embedded with yet, but he's got a new dispatch describing the trip.

FYI,
Aric

good stuff

I'm looking forward to how he covers the constitutional referendum coming up. It's always good to read his stuff and compare it with the MSM take on things.
