The Free and the Brave
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.

Arthur's e-mail

Mrs Greyhawk

One last hurrah:

Dear friends

It's time to say goodbye. The last post at http://chrenkoff.blogspot.com

Also, my last "Good news from Iraq":

Chrenkoff

Opinion Journal

Winds of Change

But it's not the end of the series:

A team led by Joe Katzman (Winds of Change.NET) has gathered to continue them. Many bloggers have just joined in. So has the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a bipartisan Washington think-tank that includes more than a few names you'd recognize.

This is the new site: http://goodnewsfromthefront.com/. Bookmark it!

They're off to a great start, and I hope you'll continue to support them by regularly visiting and linking their briefings. Meanwhile, the new site is still developing, and the team is still growing. Regular contributors, sysadmin talent, and even just tips on stories of interest will help them grow and succeed.

Thank you once again for all your support over the past year and a half.

All the best in your continuing blogging!

Arthur


But as Arthur notes, it ain't over. Joe Katzman writes:

The good news? http://GoodNewsFromTheFront.com/ - which will be carrying
on Arthur's work with his blessing, and with the full participation and
support of the bipartisan, Washington-based Foundation for the Defense
of Democracies. Check their roster link in our team list - it's impressive.

I'll add that we're still looking for additional bloggers to become part
of the team's writing and even sysadmin slots. Our work with FDD will
include a media syndication strategy, and we intend to do some new
things that will broaden the briefing's reach considerably in the coming
months.

Message for those interested in helping:

http://goodnewsfromthefront.com/archives/2005/09/and_so_it_begin.php

Our motto/byline is "Over There: The Rest of the Story". We know Arthur
has appreciated your support, and we're hoping you'll continue to uphold
this important effort - even as we continue to bring the public a lot of
the news it doesn't hear in the MSM.
