Readers, as you may have noticed, there have been numerous times when I have basically reposted information sent to me by my pal Johnny Waltz.

JW, aka The Walrus, served in Afghanistan and Iraq as a member of the U.S. Navy and is currently, although technically a disabled veteran, working his tail off fighting to improve the lives of veterans, military families, and the United States in general. He is the Kentucky Director of the great national organization Vets for Freedom, and Executive Director of Severus Worldwide, a non-profit which provides essential healthcare services to war torn areas. See Operation Iraqi Healing for more information.

Due to his extensive knowledge of current military affairs, I have invited The Walrus to become a regular contributor to BGRS. Expect a lot of very informative, connected, and up-to-date information on current military affairs home and abroad coming your way.
