Mudville Gazette

This song was written during my second tour in Iraq as part of the surge in 2007, and recorded after I returned home. The story behind the video is here.

The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Indypendence Day

Greyhawk

(This entry, originally from July 2004, is reposted for Mudville's Independence Day 2006. The tradition we stared then will continue this year also.)

This project began with a suggestion from Diggs (who's somewhere in the Middle East):

Take some pictures of your town's fireworks and send them to a soldier you know over here from your town. Let them know that back home, people still ooh and ahh when something blows up in the sky, and the kids wait happily in anticipation of the next one.

So this entry is under construction. If you've got Independence Day entries on your blog, please leave a comment below. If you'd like to add a picture to the collection, email it to greyhawk-at-mudvillegazette-dot-com and admin-at-mudvillegazette-dot-com. Please identify the location of the shot.)
