I just want to say "Kudos!" to Kyndell Harkness for her video piece on the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division band. I came across the video as part of my job gathering stories in the civilian media about units that will be going through pre-mobilization training at one of our First Army Division West brigades -- in this case, the 191st Infantry Brigade at Fort Lewis, Wash. Harkness did a wonderful job capturing the "citizen-soldier" spirit and attitude of these musicians, who now are putting on their helmets for an overseas tour that just happens to be in a combat theater. Rest assured the band members -- and everyone in the 34th Infantry Division -- will receive the finest training available to prepare them for their deployment. Keep up the GREAT work, Ms. Harkness! SGT. 1ST CLASS GAIL BRAYMEN,

FIRST ARMY DIVISION WEST PUBLIC AFFAIRS, FORT CARSON, COLO.
