When the Strib took Reporter Mark Brunswick off of politics and assigned him to work on Veterans stories, I was a little worried. I wondered if they'd allocate the time and resources needed to do the job. IMNSHO, I'm here to say those worries were unfounded.
Today the Star Tribune has what I consider a really Really REALLY solid piece of journalism on the front page. It's a story by Mark Brunswick about the four day trip home from Afghanistan for Members of Minnesota's Air National Guard.
As it's Memorial Day Weekend, I consider this story a "must read" -- and the video on the Strib webpage a "must watch."
Here's the link to today's story: "Minn. Air Guard: From war to home in four days"
Here's the link to the Strib containing the series of stories: "Marching Home: An occasional series"
Some may have seen what I've posted on facebook with links to the Strib story:
"All gave some; some gave all." Who wrote it is unknown but it's true. Tomorrow on Memorial Day we honor the latter. Today in the Star Tribune is a great story about the former.
I wish everyone a happy and safe Memorial Day to honor the some that gave all.
And I'll give the Strib a shout-out for some outstanding journalism.
