Something to look for

I had the distinct pleasure this morning of talking with Master Sgt. Thomas Hastings – a Brighton resident serving our country as a member of the Colorado National Guard currently deployed in Iraq. I have to tell you I was a little hesistant about being part of an Army-organized interview – fearing that it would be a rah-rah story with little substance and a lot of stuff that couldn't be talked about but kudos to the Army and Master Sgt. Hastings. Hastings has been in harm way's over there- one of a group of soldiers from his unit to be awarded honors after their convoy was targeted by a IED. It was a wonderful interview and I hope you'll read it in next week's Brighton Standard Blade.
