Going to Iraq?

There is a possibility that I will go to Iraq to talk with soldiers about their families. There are many hurdles to jump to get to that point (one of them being funding the trip). I care so much about what we are doing and the families that I am meeting now that I am willing to go the distance to make the documentary better than great if being there serves the story we are telling. Ron has decided that he has to remain behind to videotape the families' reactions during conversations with their deployed soldiers. He would much rather go to Iraq too, but he believes what is necessary for our documentary takes precedence.

Of course I have some apprehension about doing this (my family certainly does). But this story we are telling is so important that have to do all that I can to ensure that it is the best we can do. We can certainly adjust to not having this opportunity, though, if going there is not possible. Time will tell.
