We're hard at work on a very special project that has me re-living my experience in Afghanistan. I've spent the past week trying to boil down the best of what I shot into a half-hour program that will air this Thursday night, July 2nd. The second half of our 9:00 news will be devoted entirely to the trip..and the troops.
It might be easier to do a full hour. I have so much amazing material- and so many great interviews. I'm thrilled we're getting a chance to give the story more exposure. While the big challenge has been getting it down to a half-hour, the great part of that is it leaves us with only the best elements- and hopefully a half-hour well-spent.
The special will run at 9:30 Thursday night and again on the 4th of July between 7:30 and 8pm CST.
Given the timing, expect something that strikes a patriot tone and incorporates material we couldn't include in the 6 earlier reports.
I really want to thank everyone again for their kind thoughts, calls, letters and emails. I'm a little overwhelmed.
Many, many people have asked if they can buy a tape or DVD, and while that's not really something that we do, we will allow the material to live on-line for as long as possible. When the half-hour show is complete and has broadcast, it will be available here as well. And it's free..
