This was sent to me by a good friend and team-mate from Afghanistan. In honor of CJ being in Afghanistan and working with Afghan soldiers I am putting this awesomely funny video up to show him and all the others that work with Afghan soldiers that when you get very frustrated with them, remember there are other soldiers who do even dumber things in the world.

Last night on You Served Radio we had Jon Collins from the Jon Collins band on the show. Jon was talking about their troop-honoring song HERO and how they are trying to raise funds through grass-roots efforts to produce a video that will hopefully educate many in the country about the sacrifices that our service-members make. If you didn’t listen live last night, be sure to check out http://www.blogtalkradio.com/youserved/2011/07/27/episode-152-jon-collins-band-camp-patriot and listen to the interview.
They have created a great video to explain what they are trying to do and why.

I just finished watching the video below and I am still sitting here a little numb. What a great job Lorrell and the rest of the guys in La Res did making this. In addition to that Joe Harrell who was the military advisor on Lorrell’s movie “Happy New Year” does a great acting job in this video as the veteran with some long-standing issues.
Please take a moment and watch the video below and see if you can find the “shout out” they did to You Served Blog and Radio show!
