Pamela's note: The information below is not getting out to the national media, so here it is. "Talking With Heroes" is a radio show that airs interviews and comments directly from our wonderful soldiers fighting in Iraq. Bob Calvert, the man behind "Talking With Heroes" is a personal friend, and thus, I post this information for Bob here on my blog. If you want to hear stories from those serving our country, please click on the link below to hear the radio show. As a military mom and wife to a psychologist who counsels some of the servicemen and servicewomen who return from Iraq via the Deployment Recovery Counseling Center, I am grateful to those of you who would listen to what they have to say.

Colorado Springs, CO -- Bob Calvert, host of the "Talking With Heroes" talk show, and Jim Martin, CEO of Altitude Sports and Entertainment Cable Network based in Denver, CO, recently returned from a third trip to Iraq with progress reports for all of America to hear.

Calvert and Martin spent time with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, North Dakota National Guard, with 2ID 2BCT Army units from Ft Carson, Marines, Air Force, Navy, Iraqis and more. They filmed on sites in Eastern and Western Baghdad to report progress at a Children’s Hospital, Reconstruction at Baghdad International Airport, new buildings under construction, on convoys and more.

"Talking with Heroes" is not about politics.

The program is meant to help, honor, and support our men and women in the military and their families, and to give our military personnel an opportunity to share their mostly untold stories about the work they are doing worldwide. We believe the American people have a right to hear these positive stories and our military personnel have a right to have their stories heard by all Americans. Americans across the country can now hear many positive progress stories of what our men and women have been and continue to do in Iraq. DVDs will also be available soon.

The team reported from a New Water Treatment Plant in Shunidaq, Iraq and interviewed Iraqis there who sent a message to all in America of thanks from the over 10,000 people in that area of who are now drinking clean water for the first time. They visited a New Iraqi Police Training Academy near Camp Falluja. They interviewed and filmed at TQ Surgical Facility in Al Taqaddum, interviewed Iraqi refugees in Habbaniyu Tourist Village, and interviewed the Headmaster at Al Absaar Primary School in Habbaniyu in Iraq. They went on a Route Clearance Convoy with soldiers from Fort Carson, CO, plus other convoys.

Many military personnel shared stories about progress in their areas. The almost 20 hours of interviews, site visits, convoys and more are airing on "Talking with Heroes" 5pm (PST) Sunday night program on the stardustradio.com internet radio network through January 2008.

"Talking with Heroes" also announces that Denver based regional cable television network, Altitude Sports & Entertainment, will air Third Iraq interviews and footage throughout its 10-state cable territory beginning on November 7, 2007. Those with a sports package on DirectTV and Dish Network can also watch around the country. The broadcast times and dates along with the cities and channels are listed in the Talking with Heroes website at: http://talkingwithheroes.com/information.php?info_id=17

"You Tube" now hosts 11 "Talking with Heroes" 9-minute clips from on-site visits to different locations in Iraq. To view these videos go to: http://talkingwithheroes.com/information.php?info_id=20
