A Company of Soldiers

The PBS show Frontline is doing a documentary titled "A Company of Soldiers" to be aired on Tuesday, February 22nd.  They followed the 8th Calvary's Dog Company around last November and December.  My cousin, Capt. Rex Blair, is in this unit and we couldn't be more proud of him and his men.  They've been doing a lot of reconstruction as well as police work in in one of the worst parts of Baghdad and can't wait for them to come home in the next month or so.

FRONTLINE reports from inside the U.S. Army's 8th Cavalry Regiment stationed in Baghdad for an up-close, intimate look at the dangers facing an American military unit in Iraq. Shot in the weeks following the U.S. presidential election, the film tracks the day-to-day challenges facing the 8th Cavalry's Dog Company as it suddenly has to cope with a dramatic increase in attacks by the insurgents.
