July Fourth

While we're having our barbecues, our soldiers are on the streets of Baghdad. My brother Emmet Cullen, a sniper with the Army's Stryker Brigade, tells me via email that he's doing night patrol today. He'll finish his second tour of duty this September after having his year-long deployment extended three months under the "troop surge" strategy. He's an aspiring photojournalist and is trying to capture what he sees in Iraq.

Here's Emmet:

And here are some of his recent photos. You can see more of his work here.

I doubt anyone still needs the reminder, but remember our soldiers, and the people of Iraq, today.
