Today includes the second part of a four part series on the war in Afghanistan as seen through the eyes of several Minnesota National Guard units deployed there. You can return to an earlier blog post about a convoy the 114th Transportation Co. went through in Helmand Province and see video here. Here is a video diary I posted about flying into Kabul and a blog entry on that as well. Later today, I'll post some pictures like these of life at Camp Leatherneck, where the 114th is stationed.
