Blogger's Roundtable with COL Balfe

    The other morning I participated in a DOD-sponsored blogger's round table session with COL Brian Balfe, who is the Task Force Phoenix VII Commander and the Brigade commander of New York's 27th BCT.

    This was an interesting interview since I knew several of the other journalists/bloggers that were also on the round table and then of course my own BDE Commander was the focus of the round table. I was privileged enough to have seen COL Balfe, shake his hand and say goodbye minutes before he left Fort  Bragg to catch his flight over to Afghanistan.

    I was going to write about the interview,  but rather than paraphrasing and taking things out of context, DOD has posted the entire roundtable session on its site. You can listen to the session in its entirety here.
