Day One in Washington D.C.


Well, we made it here! Josh and I are in Washington D.C., and since the festivities don't kick off until tonight, yesterday we took the camera out for a spin since we don't have a clue how to work it or what we are doing......

So, enjoy this unedited clip of Josh Lowe in front of the Treasury department- we' thought we'd stop in and see if the Feds want to fund TroopSpace! (Right after we shot this, Josh went in and was beat severely by the secret service when he said he wanted some money...)

More updates to follow!!!

The G.I. Film Festival



Next week Josh and I will be in Washington D.C. covering the G.I. Film Festival as members of the press!

The film festival was started by people who were tired of seeing films about our military that cast them in a bad light. All too often, people in Hollywood who have no experience with the military try and make movies about them.

This festival has movies made by actual soldiers, and some Hollywood films as well. We are going there to not only cover the event, but launch our video podcast for TroopSpace as well!

Make sure to check my blog and Josh's blog everyday next week (starting Tuesday) as we send you all updates and highlights of everything happening there! Once we are back we will try and get the video we take into presentable form ASAP! -Edward

This blog posting speaks for itself- Sterling is a Hero. Read the blog and you can comment on it here:

PVT Eades



Sterling Jones Eades joined the US Army National Guards right out of high school june 26th 2006 with his older sister. For he loved his country and honored it with great pride. He displayed the greaest respect for us and his family. In his favorite sport of football sterling is remembered as the one who would punch an opening in the defensive line so that someone else could carry the ball to a touch down. So it was that of PVT Eades his last deed in life was to be clearing everyone else out of a burning building that saturday morning of march 15th 2008 so that they are able to carry on with the ball of life. My son My soldier My hero had given his life to save the life of his older sister and her 5 month old son and two of his friends.

Firefight captured on cellphone


The below video from youtube actually isn't a video-- it's all audio. it was captured on voicemail from families cellphone from their brother, a Marine, in Afghanistan. His unit got into a firefight with the Al Qaeda, and his cell phone was in his pocket and it accidentally re-dialed his home halfway around the world.....


You can listen here, but be warned: there is some graphic language. Also, at the end, you can hear someone yell "RPG!" meaning a rocket propelled grenade was fired at them, but the story has a happy ending... the marines came through just fine. The news article is here:

Patrols & Visistation Trips Never Get Easier

It is about 7:30 in the morning and I just arrived home from the airport. My little bundle of joy went with her father to CA for their visitation time. This happens 4 times a year and just like my husband's patrols, it never gets any easier to let them go. It never gets easier to come home to a quiet and alone home where you are used to laughs, happy screams, toys, music and footsteps running after each other! My husband once said that one day I will get use to him leaving and use to his retu… Continue
