Having just read Mal’s report, I must say, it caused my heart to beat faster. He describes the danger in such a way that I wondered what his mother must be thinking. Our sons follow their hearts in whatever line of work they choose – but for mothers, we can only hope and pray God’s will in their lives. While my son has chosen a much safer line of work, he is always on my mind, as I know must be the case of Mal’s mother. Thank you, Mal, Steve, Rez, and all the others who place their lives on the line in order to report to those of us who are interested what is going on in another part of the world. I personally do not now, nor have I ever, trusted the Russians. So, be safe and come home soon.

Gypsies, Tramps and Theives for sure! If people only knew everything you go through to get a story….well, you’d be getting paid as much as a basketball players. Amazing story Mal and a side of your work we appreciate hearing about. Could cut the tension there! Thanks for the photo too. Felt like we were there…could see the cogs turning in Harrigan’s head. If you guys don’t get some awards for this reporting then there is no justice….but then justice is sparse these days…isn’t it. You getting the truth out is as good as it gets. Sincere thanks to you, Harrigan and crew. You are no regular news team…you are the greatest! Prayers…

I think it goes way beyond being prepared and having common sense. You guys are prepared, experienced and have plenty of common sense okay. but you have more…something that most people don’t have. You see things as they are and not as you wish they were. You aren’t a cliche. We can’t sit here never seeing or doing what you see and do and smuggly comment as if we knew what your jobs require of you or judge you or even understand you. You have something that we don’t, that most don’t …not even most reporters. Maybe it is a gift…all I can do is stand in awe and appreciation of you. Thanks for being different.

I just hope this can be resolved without the US getting involved. It looks more and more that the conflict is escalating.
